William Slim, 1st Viscount Slim was quite a fellow. He is too often forgotten.
IMO probably the best General in the British Army. Tail end of the supply chain, an army that had the hell beat out of it, an army that most of its soldiers did not speak English.
Created the XIV Army from shattered remnants, trained them to meet and defeat the Japanese in the dense Burmese jungles. Engineered a brilliant campaign that drove the Japanese out of Burma. And his soldiers liked him. A real warrior, but a rather modest man without a strong desire for publicity and accolades that followed his victory. As different from Monty as Ike was from Patton.
rather portly fellow despite the name..
