I saw an interview with a German Field Marshall who was in prison in England at the time. He was asked who the best allied general was and he replied, “Montgomery and Patton were the best”.

Sad to hear if true. Bill Slim was one of the UK’s greatest commanders, ever.

Daily Telegraph is now becoming a subscription site? Looks like they are the main ones running with this story.

“Mr Stevens...has given private testimony...seeking to have Viscount Slim, who died in 1970, stripped of his peerage.”

Let’s see...it has been 44 years since the accused man died, and NOW someone pops up with accusations? It makes defending oneself a bit awkward, what with needing to crawl out of your grave first!

Slim died in 1970....and, though I haven't read the suit, I suspect an attempt is being made to strip him of his peerage posthumously.
