General Philippe Petain and Georges Clemenceau, (1926). A hero of the French defence of Verdun, Petain (1856-1951) was appointed Commander-in-Chief of the French army in 1917 after a series of mutinies brought about the removal of his predecessor, Robert Nivelle. The political upheaval created by the mutinies led to the return of Clemenceau (1841-1929) as France's Prime Minister.
