William Slim of Britain (1891-1970)

The British Field Marshal William Slim oversaw Supreme Allied operations in Southeast Asia. He was regarded as one of the most important military leaders of World War II. He participated in World War I with the Royal Warwickshire Regiment and received the Military Cross for valor. He oversaw the 2nd Battalion and the 7th Gurkha Rifles in 1938. During the Iran invasion, Slim commanded the 10th Indian Division.

In 1942, when the Japanese toppled the 14th Army in Burma Corps, he made a great contribution to the country. Slim practiced jungle warfare drills, built defense boxes, and, more significantly, kept his teammate's trust. Ultimately, in the 1944 Battle of Imphal and Kohima, he was successful in driving the Japanese out of Rangoon. The troop's fortitude and Slim's unique supervision served as the Allied power's winning formula. He later served from 1953 to 1960 as governor-general of Australia.
