Researching the French Army of the First World War by Tim Gale

     The French army in the Great War has received little consideration in the English speaking world and there have been few works about it in English until relatively recently. The deep mining of the British army’s record in the Great War over the last thirty years has not been replicated in regards to the French army. There are therefore numerous areas that need scholarly research but there are also many aspects of the army and the personalities within it that could benefit with a popular military history approach. Thus this is an area of research that has room for interests that cover all aspects of military history.
