LIFE'S COVER
Lieut. General William Hood Simpson, commander of the Ninth Army at the Rhine ( see pages 25–29 ) is an old soldier: tough-minded, dependable and confident. He is a tall man, lean and immaculately dressed. The most arresting thing about his appearance is his remarkable head. It is a head that reminds people of Biblical prophets, medieval ascetics and ancient Egyptian kings. Wrote a LIFE correspondent, "At first glance it seems so bony, so cadaverously lean that you think of it as a friendly skull." - Photographer William Vandivert is credited on page 23.
