REF NO : M-444, 16 January 1945
I have great pleasure in reporting to you that the task
you gave me in the ARDENNES is now concluded. First and Third Armies
have joined hands at HOUFFALIZE and are advancing eastwards. It can
therefore be said we have now achieved tactical victory within the
salient. I am returning First Army to BRADLEY tomorrow as ordered
by you. I would like to say what a great pleasure it has been to
have such a splendid Army under my Command and how very well it has
done.
