APPOINTMENT OF FOCH
CREDIT GIVEN TO HAIG (United Service) LONDON, Thursday. The late Earl Haig alone was responsible for the famous Doullens Conference which resulted in the late Marshal Foch being appointed Generalissimo of the Allied forces in France,’* says Brigadier-General John Charteris, retired, in his book entitled “Field-Marshal Earl Haig.” Earl Haig insisted that the only way to avert disaster was to place the whole of the operations on the Western front under French leadership. Brigadier-General John Charteris is Conservative member of the House of Commons for Dumphries. He entered the Army in 1896 from Woolwich Academy, and served through the war. He was a colonel in 1921, and was attached to the Eastern Command, India. He retired in 1922.
