Prime Minister William Lyon Mac kenzie King last week convinced Canadi ans that ill-health was not the most important reason why flinty Lieut. General Andrew George Latta McNaughton, Commander in Chief overseas, had been retired (TIME...
Lieut. General Andrew George Latta McNaughton came home last week, feeling fighting fit and in a fighting mood.

McNaughton, commander of all Canadian forces, fixed upon keen, slender Guy Simonds two years ago as the coming man of the Canadian Army. This week Guy Simonds and his men, unopposed in the first days of the invasion, apparently were up against the remnants of the Germans' 15th Armored Division, which had retreated across Sicily and joined the Görings. The 29th (motorized) division, wiped...
