History
The ghost of Alexander the Great awakened the spirit of the late Stuart and commanded him to watch over his own descendent, U.S. Army sergeant, Jeb Stuart, during World War II. J.E.B. Stuart made his presence known to the younger Stuart by appearing before him as a spectral apparition. Throughout the remainder of the war, Stuart guided Jeb's actions, providing him with advice and insight as his needs required. Jeb was the only member of the Haunted Tank crew who could see and converse with the ghost of the elder Stuart.
