A point well made. And in the earlier posts about huge armies and poor control and anyone managing anything at all was kind of miraculous.
in fact, though you mention combined arms in WW2, you have skipped a whole bloodbath, much more closely related to the civil war.
WW1 generals have an indifferent to poor standing in history, precisely because of the problems that have been outlined so far. The main issues being far too large million men conscript armies. With 20th century weaponry and 19th century communications and transportation. And none of those WW1 generals comes close to any of the civil war generals top ten in reputation.
