When the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General of the Army Omar Nelson Bradley, was asked to wear his old, four-star European battle jacket for this week's cover portrait, a problem arose. No sentimentalist, Bradley had stashed the jacket away and nobody knew where it was. It finally. turned up in the attic of his Fort Myer home. The general's four-star helmet was borrowed from the Bradley museum in his home town, Moberly, Mo. The dark green band under the third shoulder star was used to designate an officer who commanded troops. Bradley, who was field commander of more U.S. soldiers than anyone in our history, begins his story of The War America Fought on page 82. It will run in four consecutive instalments and give LIFE the distinction of being the first to print General Bradley's own story.
