I have this photo courtesy of a former member of the 1st Gordons and I was wondering if anyone can identify the occasion of this presentation and whot he Marine 4 star is. Maybe someone also recognizes the Brigadier or Colonel on the left?

 

I am thinking the 4 star Marine is Pate...I found a similar photo of him inspecting Marines and he appears to have the same uniform with embroidered stars, but I'm not sure.

It's General Pate (swagger stick and gloves on table) General Shoup dispossessed of their use as it reflected poor leadership.
