Marshal Foch at his first 'meeting .with 'Sir Douglas Haig, after the Armistice said; ‘My dear Marshal, your wonderful ..army has saved France—saved us all. Without you we were beaten.’ A few days later, when the details were better known, .

Nothing w'as ever seen like it in the history of all .wars.’ ”
