David Goodwin Barr (June 15, 1895  – September 26, 1970) was a US Army major general who took part in World War I, World War II, Chinese Civil War and Korean War. Barr thought poorly of the Republic of China and often came into conflict with Chinese leader Chiang Kai-shek. During the Korean War, he led the 7th Infantry Division and was defeated by Chinese Communist troops in the Battle of Chosin Reservoir. Later, he was removed from post by Matthew Ridgway. Following the war, he was appointed the commandant of United States Army Armor School.[1] Barr is buried at Arlington National Cemetery.[2]
