Hodges, General Courtney H. (1887–1966),US Army officer who commanded the First US Army during most of the
Normandy campaign and in the fighting in north-west Europe which followed.
Hodges failed his exams at West Point Military Academy and joined up as a private. He was commissioned in 1909, was twice decorated during the
First World War, and rose to become chief of the Infantry School at Fort Benning. In March 1944 he was appointed
Bradley's deputy at First US Army and took over its command that August when Bradley's Twelfth Army Group was formed. Hodges, a taciturn man with an innate dislike of publicity, was a first-rate general and he led his army through some of the toughest fighting in north-west Europe: it captured
Aachen, took the brunt of the German attack at the start of the
Ardennes campaign, seized the bridge at
Remagen, and eventually linked up with the Red Army around
Torgau. He was promoted general in April 1945.
