He is shown in his field uniform, wearing an M1 Helmet with the three stars of a Lieutenant General and the First U.S. Army shoulder patch.

He was famously known as the “G.I.’s General.”

His rank of Flight Sergeant is shown on his sleeves. He holds a tile celebrating the Royal Air Force and its iconic Spitfire fighter plane. This figure is representative of “The Few” who defended Britain during the Battle of Britain in 1940.
