"Today marks the 100th anniversary of one of the key moments leading to the Allied victory over the Axis powers in World War II. Don't worry, your math is not wrong. Oct. 3, 1917, is the centennial of General John J. Pershing's inspection of the 1st Infantry Division at Gondrecourt, France. This obscure event would not only have significant repercussions for the American effort in the next world war, but also offer lessons for leadership development in the U.S. military a century later…" Main page link Amicalement Armand |

Pershing is hugely under-rated, a highly experienced field officer with a varied serving career. Fought Indians with the 10th (coloured) cavalry in the west Fought with the 10th in Cuba with Rooselvelt and his rough riders. Chased Pancho Villa around northern Mexico Then command the AEF in Europe |
