“Patton departed Tunisia less than impressed with his British superior, General Anderson, who was struggling with a supply problem. “Anderson is just good enough to not get relieved,” he wrote to Bea. “I should not be surprised to see the Brit 1st Army get driven back.” Patton was further disgusted that Anderson’s headquarters was located a full hundred miles from the front lines. “Too far by 95 miles,” he wrote.[43]”
