If Montgomery was a glory hog, what were Mark Clark and Dougout Doug Macarthur?

Patton obviously saw M as a rival for the credit he, P, thought should be all his. I think M carried an enormous burden of responsibility on behalf of the British, he was virtually their only hero. Militarily, given his length of service at the top, I suggest any objective examination of his performance would place him very highly.
