WW1 - French Generals of the First World War | Macedonia 1912-1918 - Macedonia During the Balkan Wars and First World War

The following excerpt - French Generals of the First World War is taken from Ратни албум (War Album), 1914–1918, authored by Andra Popović (Андра Поповић) and published in Belgrade in 1926.

The album, published in the years following the First World War, preserves a visual and documentary record of the people, events, and military leaders associated with the Great War. This excerpt presents several prominent French generals who played important roles in the conflict, offering a glimpse into the French military leadership during one of the defining periods of the 20th century.

Published only a few years after the war, War Album is also valuable as a contemporary Yugoslav-era historical source, reflecting how the wartime generation remembered and documented the figures and events of 1914–1918.
