I have built this for for Upottery Nissen Huts, the base is from the tree from Musgrove Hospital Taunton where Eisenhower planted it himself, it has recently been cut down





The Plaque reads
Europe 1944
The Opposing Sides
Montgomery, Eisenhower & Patton
Rommel
Base From
Eisenhower Tree Musgrove

In this kit you get MacArthur which completes the set.
