Marquis de Castelnau rises to French army chief of staff
The Marquis de Castelnau, named chief of staff on Joffre’s recommendation, is a scion of ancient French nobility who has long faced scrutiny for monarchist leanings. He began as a colonel in 1896, led the mon division at Nancy, and commanded forces near Paris in early World War I, earning praise in official communiqués while four of his sons served in the army, three later dying in battle.
