| | Stilwell: The GIs' Favorite - YANK - October 6, 1944 |
 | | Joseph W. Stilwell, the U.S. Army's newest four-star general, is as regular and down-to-earth as the scuffed GI shoes he wears when tramping through the Burma jungles. |
 | | Stilwell introduced himself to the surprised soldier, smiled and said: "I'm going to have to embarrass you a little." Then, after his aide had read the citation, the general pulled the sheet over the soldier's chest and pinned the Silver Star on the sheet. |
 | | Stilwell was born on Mar. 19, 1883, at Palatka, Fla., where his parents were vacationing from the family home in Yonkers, N.Y. After graduating from Yonkers High School, where he played football and basketball, he entered West Point in 1900. |
