    Top photo, Lt. Gen. on the left is Jacob Devers. Not sure of general in middle.
    Lower photo, at the Arc de Triomphe, center general is Courtney Hodges, on right is Omar Bradley. Between them is Gen. Pierre Koenig, later a Marshal of France.

      Interesting that Bradley and Hodges are wearing, what appears to be, US jump boots....

        Perhaps Bradley's are left over from when he was commander of the 82nd.....Bodes

          The 82nd had not converted to an airborne division when Bradley commanded.
          Matthew Ridgway was the first 82nd AB commander.

            In the second photo, I believe the general on the left is Leonard Gerow. The general in the middle of the first photo looks like Brehon Somervell.
