The French Army 1914–18 Australian History Interviewing the war’s last survivorsDescription By Ian Sumner Paperback Initially the strongest of all the Allied armies, France's metropolitan and colonial units bore the greatest burden during the first two years of the Great War, and made a great contribution to the final victory. In common with most European countries, the pre war French Army was based on a system of national military service providing conscripts who could be subject to recall as reservists for several years after.
