I reviewed Middleton’s long entry in the index by author and found that he was primarily a headquarters guy. After Torch he filed a number of stories from the front lines and he spent a month or so in France after D-Day but mostly he was at “Allied Headquarters in North Africa” or SHAEF HQ. Baldwin rarely leaves New York and when he does it is usually for Washington D.C.
Thanks. Middleton’s photo certainly doesn’t suggest someone who has been on-the-march and roughing it. The fact that by war’s end his reporting hadn’t alienated Ike suggests political ability.
