THREE LETTERS FROM GENERAL OMAR BRADLEY, U.S. ARMY TO DEMPSEY,
two typed on 12th Army Group headed paper and signed in ink 'Brad', the first dated 3rd December 1944 and reading, "Dear Bimbo, Your five-pound note recalled one bet I had hoped to lose. It would have been more fun paying you. Bill [Simpson] gives me your good regards regularly. Unless we can get together more often, I shall have to deposit mine at the same stop. Best wishes and good luck to you. Sincerely, Brad" the second an exchange of Christmas good cheer from the same year, and the third dated 16th January 1947 where Bradley is writing from Washington illustrating his post-war duties
Other Notes: Whilst the two General had a good working relationship during the war, it was to sour somewhat following the publication of Bradley's memoirs in which he was critical of Dempsey's planning in the breakout from Normandy. Dempsey, who did not approve of such autobiographies, wrote to Bradley and aired his displeasure at what he saw as a series of indiscretions.
