Commanding General 6th Inf Division, DOW Luzon 1945.
General Patrick was by all accounts a commander who combined combat efficiency with a kind and considerate nature, and the fact of his death at the head of his division speaks for itself. (There were only two other American division commanders killed in action in World War II; Rose of the 3rd Armored, and Wharton of the 28th Infantry Divisions).
The main interest of this work however is the careful delineation of the training of officers in the period between the World Wars, when the emaciated American Army had to substitute staff schools and war colleges for actual command of large formations. General Patrick was a product of this training and his story demonstrates how well the system served the American people.
