Marshal '''Ferdinand Jean Marie Foch''' ([[2 October]] 1851 – [[20 March]] 1929) was a French general and Marshal of [[France]], [[Great Britain]] and [[Poland]], a military theorist and the Supreme Allied Commander during the First World War. An aggressive, even reckless commander at the First Marne, [[Flanders]], and Artois campaigns of 1914-1916, Foch became the Allied Commander-in-Chief in 1918 and successfully coordinated the French, British, American, and Italian efforts into a coherent whole, deftly handling his strategic reserves.<ref>{{wikipedia|title=Ferdinand Foch|date=21 January, 2018}}</ref>
