Marshal Foch's Cane.

From the first days of the war Marshal Foch always carried a dapper stick with him. There is an interesting story connected with the cane that the head of the allied armies regarded so necessary. “It was carved for him in the early days of the war by one of his beloved pollna of the trenches.” says the Home Sector, the ex-soldiers’ weekly, “since which time, if reports are true, it has nver left his side. .It has made itself useful as well as ornamental on occasions, and there is a legend that It was used to map out the great strokes and counter-strokes of the summer and fall of 1918 by which the way was ended.”
