Visual Description:  Military men.

ALFEB  =  FABLE,  TAIRO  =  RATIO,  GINSSA  =  ASSIGN,  YEMMAH  =  MAYHEM   —   Giving us:  AERISNM

Clue/Question:  They called the General by his . . .

Answer:  “SIR–NAME“

(Very good pun!  Great jumbling of the clue words.  I really liked “assign” and “mayhem”, and it looks like “assign” is a new clue word to the Jumble world.  ralis95 will have to add it to the clue word database.  Very good answer letter layout.  If you didn’t just pick up on the joke the answer letter layout would have been of little help.  Great cartoon, too.  Jeff could get a job at Stars and Stripes!  Be well and do good, friends.  Have a Happy Mother’s Day!)   —   YUR

(Classic, old-school comedian joke!  Probably not so well known here in the States, but a comedic icon over in England.  Still going strong, at age 85.  We should all be so successful.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
