Bell Not To Sign Orders Aims To Save Chief Of Staff
The War Department contends Brig Gen Franklin Bell as chief of staff would cause awkwardness as he would issue commands to higher ranking officers. A reform would have orders read by the secretary of war and signed by the military secretary, removing the chief of staff’s name from dispatches. Following Maj Gen Sumner’s retirement, Brig Gen Grant and several Lieut Cols were promoted to brigadier general and retired in order.
