Marechall Foch & General Pershing

Marechall Foch & General Pershing

Hoffman, Peter B.

General Ferdinand Foch, the French General and war theorist, who served as the Supreme Allied Commander during World War I is standing on the left and looking towards the left with his hands coming together in front of him. He appears to have a smile on his face that is hidden by a mustache. He is in full uniform with his cap on and is jacket buttoned all the way. Standing behind him is a soldier who is standing and facing the left side. He is standing next to a door up two stairs. The door appears to be open and the soldier has his hands at his side with his cap leaning towards the right side of his head. Next to Foch is General Pershing, the Commander of the American Expeditionary Forces during World War I. He is wearing his full uniform as well and he is facing the left side of the photograph with only his profile visible. He has short, light hair that is mostly covered by his hat. There also appear to be people inside the building next to the open door, where there are glass windows. The stairs leading up to the building appear to be marble or granite. There are flowers next to the stairs to the right side of the photograph.
