EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Marshal Ferdinand Foch, the esteemed French general and Allied Supreme Commander during World War I. Taken in 1919 by an unknown creator, this portrait captures the essence of a man who played a pivotal role in shaping history. Foch's appointment as supreme commander came at a critical juncture in the war. Just five days after the start of Germany's Spring Offensive, which posed a significant threat to the Allies' victory, Foch assumed command. His strategic brilliance became evident when he successfully halted the German advance at the Second Battle of Marne in July 1918. This decisive victory turned the tide of war firmly in favor of the Allies. The image portrays Foch dressed in military uniform, donning his kepi with utmost pride and authority. His stern yet determined expression reflects his unwavering commitment to leading his troops to triumph against all odds. Marshal Foch's remarkable achievements earned him not only respect but also France's highest military honor – being appointed as a Marshal. This photograph is part of "The History of The Great European War: its causes and effects" authored by W. Stanley Macbean Knight and published by Caxton Publishing Company Limited in London, 1919. As we gaze upon this historic image today, it serves as a reminder of one man's indomitable spirit that changed the course of World War I and shaped our world forever.
