Major General Frank W Milburn. Commander of the big red one 1946-1949.

Milburn's career is remarkable for having commanded five corps of the U.S. Army.

So, Major General Milburn commanded XXI Corps from about December 1943 to July 1945. Pretty cool.

Here is a close up of the pommel of one of the 5.

It looks like it commemorates the Spanish American War. No ID on it though.
