Juin, recovering from his shock and embarrassment, tells Murphy that he can’t officially make his decision until he’s checked with Admiral Jean-Francois Darlan, commander-in-chief of Vichy France’s forces, who happens to be visiting Algiers at that moment, staying at the villa of Admiral Raymond Fenard.

 TIME.com: The Juin Affair -- Apr. 12, 1954 -- Page 1
The man who lit the fuse was seven-starred Marshal Alphonse Juin, 65, first 'soldier of France, vice president of France's national defense council, commander in chief of the Central European forces of NATO.
But the messenger did not hand it personally to Juin, and the Marshal lost his temper at this breach of etiquette.
Marshal Juin, a graduate of St. Cyr (where he was a classmate of Charles de Gaulle), was utterly opposed to handing over the army of Napoleon and Foch to the dubious control of a hybrid international command.

"My profession," said France's testy, unpredictable Alphonse Juin in Morocco in 1951, "is to make war−and I am making war." There were others who thought his job in Morocco was to make a peace possible−but then, Alphonse Juin was always a man of stormy views.
The son of a French policeman in Algeria, Soldier Juin followed his profession with vigorous abandon from the moment of his graduation from Saint Cyr, declaring war on virtually everybody who opposed him.
Stripped of his French army jobs and officially spanked by the NATO Council in a resolution condemning "the public utterances of Marshal Alphonse Juin," the obstreperous old soldier went right on saying his say with uninhibited vigor.

 Cronaca: Monte Cassino, 60 years later
When General Freyberg began to plan his assault, he concluded that the monastery would have to be reduced and requested air attacks.
General Clark, Freyberg's immediate superior, disagreed with this assessment, and he was supported in his view by French General Alphonse Juin and Generals Keyes, Walker, and Ryder.
It was not until troops led by General Wladyslaw Anders (Polish Corps) and General Alphonse Juin (French Corps) that the monastery was taken on 18th May, 1944.

Perhaps out of desperation, Clark ordered another frontal assault on the ridge, this time involving a two pronged attack made up of the elite French Expeditionary Force to the north (who were to capture two of the larger hills overlooking the valley) and the Americans who would assault the monastery hill.
The French commander, Gen. Alphonse Juin -- who's forces were skilled in fighting in the difficult terrain of North Africa -- requested a slower but less hazardous flanking attack around the ridge, but Clark turned him down.
During this ten day battle, the French forces fought suicidally in an effort to gain their objectives.

Still further air attacks on 16-17 March, which dropped 466 tons of bombs, produced no tangible results.
By 21 March, seven days into the attack, General Clark called on Freyberg to break off the assault, a decision thought prudent by Generals Juin and Leese as well.
Yet thinking that success was just within reach, Freyberg continued the attack until Alexander compelled him to halt the offensive on 23 March.
