EDITORS COMMENTS
Ferdinand Foch: The Supreme Allied Commander in World War I This striking photograph captures the stern and resolute visage of Marshal Ferdinand Foch, the Supreme Allied Commander during World War I. Born on September 2, 1851, in Commercy, France, Foch rose through the ranks of the French military to become one of the most prominent figures of the First World War. Foch's military career began in 1872 when he entered the École Polytechnique, a prestigious military academy. He served in various capacities throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including as a professor of tactics at the École Supérieure de Guerre. However, it was during the Great War that Foch truly made his mark. In 1914, Foch was appointed as the commander of the Second Army in the north of France. He distinguished himself in the Battle of the Marne, where he successfully halted the German advance on Paris. In 1915, Foch was promoted to the position of commander-in-chief of the Northern Army Group. However, it was not until 1918, when he was appointed as the Supreme Allied Commander, that Foch was given the opportunity to lead the Allied forces to victory. Under Foch's command, the Allies launched a series of offensives that ultimately led to the end of the war. The Armistice of Compiègne was signed on November 11, 1918, bringing an end to the conflict. Foch's leadership and strategic acumen were instrumental in securing the Allied victory, and he was hailed as a hero throughout Europe and beyond. This photograph, taken in 1929, captures Foch in his later years, still bearing the weight of the world on his shoulders. His steely gaze and unyielding expression speak to the indomitable spirit that carried him through the trials and tribulations of war and cemented his place in history as one of the greatest military commanders of all time.
