Caption:
General Maurice Sarrail, Allied commander in Greece during World War I, (1926). Sarrail (1856-1929) commanded the French 3rd Army on the Western Front from August 1914. The French Commander-in-Chief, General Joffre, sacked Sarrail from his command in 1915 because of his openly socialist views and criticism of Joffre's command of the army. Sarrail had prominent allies in political circles however and as a result he was given command of the French army sent to Salonika in October 1915, assuming command of all Allied troops in Greece the following January. Sarrail continued to involve himself in political intrigue and was eventually dismissed by Prime Minister Georges Clemenceau in December 1917.
