Geoff -
I would go along with that notion of Bill Slim being the greatest Commander in ww2 when you think that he came from being a successful Brigadier in Ethiopia to Field Marshal - with a lowly background - little to work with - and in spite of Mountbatten and Leese ganging up on him - defeated a very strong Japanese Army to show how it could be done in the most adverse conditions...we don't credit him enough with what he did...for all of us !
Cheers
