[edit]I found a reference in "Thunderbolt", a biography of Creighton Abrams, to Abrams disenchantment with Wooldridge because he had been implicated in a scandal. I recall the scandal, which involved senior NCO's skimming profits from NCO clubs, but have not found a source verifying or discrediting his involvement. I believe it to be true because the author, Lewis Sorley, is a careful and thorough writer with extensive knowledge of the military at that time. I would appreciate any help on clarifying this.Pmeisel 11:22, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)
How could he have been awarded a Silver Star as a private in the battle for Aachen in October 1944, while landing as a squad leader (sergeant) in Normandy in June 44. Was he unfortunate enough to be demoted?
Indeed this seems impossible.
The language used in this article doesn't sound particularly neutral at some points (seems a bit hagiographic).
