General Patton's

[eclancy]

Gentlemen,

As many of you know Gen. G. S. Patton Jr. Commanding General, Third United States Army. Stated the following to Maj. Gen. L. H. Campbell, Jr. Chief of Ordnance.

"In my opinion, the M-1 Rifle is the greatest battle implement ever devised."

However, General Patton when visiting Springfield Armory on a short trip home wrote the following in praise of the M1 Rifle. So you now know that General Patton had a Second note about the M1 Garand Rifle.

it was noted historically that patton may have been dislexic, but his ambitions made his handicap nothing.

plus, his writing looks like mine, nice and squiggly

I think it says "I consider the M-1 the greatest weapon ever made" but I could be wrong.
