Pershing Plans Allied Army Buildup in World War I
General Pershing recalls urging early American arms to join a joint front with Britain and France. He details talks with Foch in 1918 on forming a six division American corps, training with British units, and shipping plans while resisting full amalgamation and capricious demands from allied leaders. He cites meetings with Lord Derby, Haig, and Foch and notes dangers of delaying an American army.
