5 May 1921 was the centenary of the death of Napoleon. Marshal Foch, who led French forces to victory in World War I just a few years earlier, presented the Emperor’s sword in front of his tomb. In his eulogy, he said, “Sire, you can sleep in peace.”

At the end of his life, in a book of interviews published after his death, Marshal Foch confided his opinions on Napoleon: Fondation Napoléon

In it, he says that Napoleon’s civil and military achievements were due to “very simple, very clear principles, handled by Napoleon with dizzying mastery and virtuosity.”

Burn book type of sketches

For some reasons, very likely because of Douglas Haig (actually found out about him when I went to Museum of Edinburgh the first time), I got into WWI so I just decided that I am drawing some dudes.

SO- May I present: Sir Douglas Haig and John J. “Black Jack” Pershing, commanders of British Expeditionary Forces and American Expeditionary Forces respectively.

They two were friends and they corresponded quite frequently after the war until Haig’s sudden death in 1928. I’ve been reading about WWI commanders lately, and there’s some stuff going on between the West Front Allied generals, so why not make it like a Burn Book?

Here is my dumb blondie Douglas 😔✨ (he’s Scottish and I luv him)

Ngl I only draw Pershing by virtue of being friends with Haig—I guess he will be the only American that I will ever draw except Hollywood stars.

Bonus: shitposting

Pershing #black jack Pershing #someone who would have thought he had the N word pass if being in 21st century #going to draw Foch next since he needs more love #maybe I should draw Joffre or Pétain as well #Pétain was good in WWI but him in WWII was pee #history shitposting #Ferdinand Foch #ferdi foch #smol fightey babey #Foch sets my soul on fire so now I’m so motivated to get everything done #thank you Ferdi

Plaque en hommage à : Ferdinand Foch

Type : Lieu de résidence

Adresse : 21 rue Auguste Comte, 69002 Lyon, France

Date de pose :

Texte : Ici le Maréchal de France Foch a été reçu par ses compatriotes hauts-pyrénéens le 10 décembre 1922

Quelques précisions : Ferdinand Foch (1851-1929) est un militaire français, ayant été élevé à la dignité de Maréchal de France, notamment suite à ses actions durant la Première Guerre mondiale. Il est ainsi l'un des commandants de l'armée française durant la célèbre bataille de la Marne (1914) à l'issue de laquelle les Alliés remportent une victoire décisive, ainsi que pendant la première bataille d'Ypres. Des défaites militaires ternissent ensuite son prestige, mais il reste toutefois à des positions de commandement militaire (il est souvent en compétition ou en désaccord avec Philippe Pétain) qui lui permettent d'être l'architecte de la victoire décisive contre les Allemands en 1918. Sa santé décline à la fin des années 1920, jusqu'à son décès. Ayant reçu de multiples décorations militaires, en France comme à l'étranger (dont la Grand-Croix de la Légion d'honneur), il reçoit après sa mort de très nombreux hommages : une avenue de Lyon, ainsi que la station de métro qui s'y trouve, porte ainsi son nom.

Getting into necromancy so I can call up Erich von Ludendorff's soul from whatever hell he's in and read Gundam Wing slashfic I find-and-replaced his and Luigi Cadorna's names into at him. Maybe extend it further to Gundam SEED slashfic and add Ferdinand Foch and Douglas Haig's names to the mix.

I take this as a dare, and I shan't be thought a coward.

Another long ass post analyzing an aspect of All Quiet on the Western Front (2022):

One thing I really like about AQOTWF (that maybe not many understand) is the attention the production team put into food. For me there are two things they tried to tell us with all those shots and scenes focused on food:

First, we are clearly showed how the soldiers were starving, to the point in which they had to find ways of providing food for themselves on their own. They even kept just a little bit of bread in their pockets to have portions in the future (when Paul wakes from his first night and Kat shares him some bread, you can see they both put it in their pockets instead of eating it all. My guess is they where saving it for later, since they knew they wouldn't be provided a lot of food. God, we even see Kat grabbing some crumbs from the mud just to eat as much as possible). With some takes we also see how poor the little food they had was.

Second, we are shown the difference between the ones who lead the war and the ones fighting in it. While the General Friedrich is drinking wine and eating grotesquely with Brixdorf at a table, Kat is fighting with a man to have a portion of soup (which ingredients are water and a potatoe). While General Ferdinand Foch complains about his food not being "fresh", Paul and Kat have to be satiated with muddy water they find at the trenches and two eggs they stole from a farm.

For me, this is a way of symbolism on how the ones financiating and seeing the war just as a conflict never experience the real atrocities of war (we can even see that Erzberger, the only one in that wagon who represents a real understanding of war, gives a massive side eye to his partner when he is eating and making noises, which is also a symbolism).

But this is just what I think and understand from this aspect of the movie.

Plus opinion on the food thing: Kat saying "Soon we'll be home, then we can eat what we want... Whatever we want" is one of the saddest things.

"For months we have slept under the guns … We cannot comprehend the stillness.”

On the personal train carriage of General Ferdinand Foch, deep in the Forest of Compiègne, four representatives from the German Empire and four leaders of the Allied Powers met to discuss the terms of an armistice. After three days, on the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918 the Armistice went into effect. Thus ending four years of unprecedented death and destruction, the Great War was finally over. Today, 105 years after this moment in history, that so drastically effected the lives of millions upon millions, we observe it as Veteran’s Day in America. Veteran’s Day is a day that we remember all of the veterans, in all of their capacities, who have served our nation. Veterans Day is a day to remember those veterans who have passed, yet even more importantly, to remember those who are living.

 I listened to a great podcast this week from History That Doesn’t Suck. Professor Greg Jackson does an incredible job telling the story of the Armistice in such an interesting way, yet still including all of the names and facts that are important. Episode 146 is titled, The Armistice of November 11, 1918. It’s a little over an hour long but so worth your time.

Armistice Day 1918: 100 Years of Heroes - YouTube, video of various American troops celebrating the armistice around the world in 1918.

They Shall Not Grow Old – New Trailer – Now Playing In Theaters - YouTube, this documentary is incredible.

1918 Peerless Quartet - Goodbye France - YouTube, this song came out in 1918.

1919 Nicholas Orlando - Till We Meet Again (Charles Hart & Harry MacDonough, vocal) - YouTube, this is a favorite of mine – I didn’t realize that it was written during The Great War!

Armistice Day 1918 (1918) - YouTube, oh my the confetti being thrown at 0:18!

“This Veterans Day, may we honor the incredible faith that our veterans hold, not just in our country but in all of us.  They are the solid-steel backbone of our Nation, and we must endeavor to continue being worthy of their sacrifices by working toward a more perfect Union and protecting the freedoms that they have fought to defend. In respect and recognition of the contributions our veterans and their families, caregivers, and survivors have made to the cause of peace and freedom around the world, the Congress has provided (5 U.S.C. 6103(a)) that November 11 of each year shall be set aside as a legal public holiday to honor our Nation’s veterans.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim November 11, 2023, as Veterans Day.  I encourage all Americans to recognize the valor, courage, and sacrifice of these patriots through appropriate ceremonies and private prayers and by observing two minutes of silence for our Nation’s veterans.  I also call upon Federal, State, and local officials to display the flag of the United States of America and to participate in patriotic activities in their communities.”

 I hope that your weekend is enjoyable, fun, restful, active – whatever you need it to be. And remember our veterans.
