		Ferdinand Foch was born at Tarbes on 2 October 1851 the son of a civil servant.
		Foch's predilection for a military career had its beginnings in the stories of the Napoleonic Wars told to him as a child by his great-aunt (who was the widow of General Nogues, a man who rose to that rank in the service of Napoleon I).
		Foch was not responsible for the Regulations of 1913 and it is hard to see how his writing can be comfortably reconciled with that handbooks call for the French Army to admit 'no law but that of the offensive'.

		Foch foresaw that these things would have to be done and, with absolute consecration to his task, he set himself not only to train officers for France when she should need them, but to inspire them with a unity of action which has saved the world.
		Foch had, for years, been teaching that fighting demands supreme flexibility, adaptability; that war is full of surprises which must be met as they arise; that morale, the spiritual force of an army, is subject to fluctuations caused by dozens of conditions which cannot be foreseen and must be overcome.
		General Foch installed himself at the Invalides, and addressed himself to the study of all the allies' fronts, the assembling American army, and to another task for which he was signally fitted: that of coordinating the plans and purposes of the Generalissimo and the government.
