The son and grandson of rabbis from Poland,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Untitled Document )〕 General Rose was at the time the highest ranking Jew in the U.S. Army. He was married twice and had two sons. The Third Armored Division official history of World War II, published after Rose had been killed in action states "He was over six feet tall, erect, dark haired, and had finely chiseled features. He was firm and prompt of decision, brooking no interference by man, events or conditions in order to destroy the enemy." ==Early career== Rose was educated in Denver, and graduated from East High School in 1916. He edited the school newspaper, and his desire for a military career became well-known among his classmates; in the school yearbook, a cartoon illustrating the newspaper staff depicted him carrying a rifle. Rose lied about his age to enlist in the Colorado National Guard as a private after graduating from high school in 1916, hoping to serve in the Pancho Villa Expedition. He was discharged six weeks later when his commander was informed that he was underage. He worked for a year in a meatpacking plant where one of his brothers was employed, enlisted again after he was old enough, and was selected for officer training. After graduating from Officer Candidate School at Fort Riley, Kansas, in 1917 Rose was commissioned as a second lieutenant of infantry, and served with the 89th Infantry Division in France. He was wounded at St. Mihiel, and saw combat in all of the Meuse-Argonne Offensive. He briefly left the army after the war for a short stint as a traveling salesman. Rose soon returned to the peacetime army as a captain, serving initially with the 21st, 53rd and 38th Infantry Regiments at Fort Douglas, Utah. He continued to advance through the ranks, gaining experience in the theories and practices of armored warfare. In addition to his completion of Officer Candidate School in 1917, Rose graduated from the Infantry Company Officer Course (1926), the Cavalry Officer Course (1931), the Command and General Staff College (1937), and the Army Industrial College (1940).〔(U.S. Army Adjutant General ), Official U.S. Army Register, 1943, page 762〕 From 1937 to 1939 Rose was an observer and advisor for the Pennsylvania National Guard, followed by a posting to Fort George G. Meade, Maryland as an instructor at the III Corps Command and Staff School. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Maurice Rose」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
