| Description |
English: William Kelly Harrison Jr. (September 7, 1895 – May 25, 1987) was a highly decorated officer in United States Army with the rank of Lieutenant General. A graduate of the West Point Military Academy, he rose through the ranks to Brigadier general during World War II and distinguished himself in combat several times, while served as Assistant Division Commander, 30th Infantry Division during Normandy Campaign or Battle of the Bulge. Harrison was decorated with Distinguished Service Cross, the second highest decoration of the United States military for bravery in combat, for his actions during the Operation Cobra.
Following the War, Harrison remained in the Army and after several stateside assignments, he was ordered to Far East, where he served as head of the United Nations Command armistice delegation in the Korean War. He participated in the truce talks, which concluded with the signing of the Korean Armistice Agreement on July 27, 1953. Harrison completed his career as Commanding general, U.S. Caribbean Command in early 1957. |
