Let’s get to it! This Monday’s 90th Infantry Division Pic of the Week features a meeting of the minds. Looks like a lot of brass. Who exactly do we have here. Second from left looks like Omar Bradley, Commanding General of the U.S. 12th Army Group. And second from right, you can just see the face, appears to be General George Patton, Commander of the U.S. Third Army. I’m sure the highly intelligent followers of the site can identify a few more.
