How it is shown: Complete page as supplied; no crop, no retouch, no search highlight. This is the library's own description of a folder, not an image of the report.

Keep in mind: What the page says: Confirmed from the page image. The folder description reads 'to Marshall regarding the facts of the soldier-slapping incident and the corrective actions taken; a number of news releases ...; Gen. Smith to Patton ...; Col. H.S. Clarkson, Inspector General, to Eisenhower regarding the official inquiry into the slapping incident.' It is a catalogue entry for a folder; it does not reproduce or date the report, and the report itself is not digitized online (a research request or visit would be needed). Whether this is our person: Likely, not Confirmed, that 'Col. H.S. Clarkson, Inspector General' is Herbert Slayden Clarkson (1891-1974), who held that inspector-general role and has those initials; the finding aid gives initials only.
