General Tasker Bliss

At Ludendorff Offensive eighth day, searched General Pershing and his chief of staff, an old Indian fighter named general Tasker Bliss, the General Foch, who three days before had reached his dream and ambition goal: to get give directives to all allied armies on the western front. The two Americans found Foch in his secluded and idyllic headquarters behind blossoming cherry tree in a small weirdly house between Beauvais and Compi`engne. Pershing arrived unannounced and just stepped on. Foch, Petain and Clemanceau low over a table with front maps in front of them.

Pershing had rehearsed and learned by heart in French what he would say.

- I have come here to offer you American troops in the ongoing battle. All we have is yours. Use us how you want. I also wish to emphasize that the American people would be proud to participate in history's greatest battles.
The three Frenchmen stood up from the maps. Foch was the right man to target with lofty and dramatic words. He was so delighted that he wanted to hear it again and get an audience. He took without a word Pershing by the arm and led him out into the garden where high French staff officers walked around and chatted.
- Repeat what you said, he asked Pershing.


Pershing read it again. Foch shook his hand. From a cherry tree he stood and admired said Tasker Bliss, who not would be outdone:
- We have come here to die.
Up until the 11 November, armistice day , 81,000 Americans would make truth of Tasker Bliss promise at the cherry tree, as so many died during the seven months that Americans fought in the war.
