Name that general! (with written questions too)

Thanks Jeff. Who he?

 

Nope.
Unusual to see a General in a beret perhaps? I wonder what colour it is?

 

Is it Freddy de Guingand?

 

Frederick Browning, Second in command of the First Allied Airborne Army, and commanded the airborne forces during Operation Market Garden.

You got it Michelle, Lt. Gen. Sir FAM 'Boy' Browning.

Take it away..

 

A general found in different places....

 

hint: Won a Victoria Cross World War I - oh and he lived an interesting life!

 

There can't be too many second war Generals with VC's. So I'll have a pop at Bernard Freyberg.

 

Not Freyberg. One description of him post WWI:

" The eye patch, empty sleeve, bristling moustache, and tall, lean and fit figure turned heads. His dashing demeanor combined with his phenomenal bravery and remarkable exploits made him a figure of legend. And he was amazingly outspoken. He was a warrior, not a peacetime soldier."

One more hint - he was a Prisoner of War in WWII

 

yes and ...yes Adrian Carton de Wiart - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

Apparently, I missed saying your turn, Jeff!

 

Too bad this quiz seems to have died. Personally, I learned a lot about the people who were directing the action in World War II.

 

Well throw another one in there Michelle and get it started again.

 

I hope no one bothers if I go on, it's such an interesting game:



Shouldn't be too hard to find out.

 

is it cavallero.lee.

 

Nope!

His final rank was Generale d'Armata.

 

Well I searched and amongst the photos I found for Italian Generals, I did not find one wearing glasses. Any other hint?

 

He was in AOI during the war, and was the last italian leader to stand there.
