Born in 1885, George Smith Patton Jr. attended the Virginia Military Institute and the United States Military Academy at West Point.

He served, and was wounded, commanding the fledgling tank corps in World War I. In WWII he obtained the rank of general and commanded the United States 7th Army in the Mediterranean theater.
