BRITISH ARMY
FRENCH DEBT TO IT NOT FORGOTTEN MARSHAL FOCH’S TRIBUTE By Telegraph.—press association. Copyright. London, December 5. It is strange that anyone should think me capable of forgetting what France owes to the British Army and FieldMarshal Haig, says Marshal Foch, in an article regarding the Armistice Day controversy. I did not claim that the Generalissimo had the last word regarding the 1918 offensive. On the contrary I sometimes adopted Marshal Haig’s plans in preference to mine. Every time I am in danger of forgetting what France owes to Britain, 1 make a pilgrimage to the shrines of their dead. I paid such a visit on the eve of the day on which I was credited with aspersions on the British Army. Could I return from that sacred spot and speak words of carping criticism? —Sydney “Sun” Cable.
