French Generals to Remain in Active Command
In Algiers on June 22 the French Committee of National Liberation decided that Generals Henri Giraud and Charles De Gaulle will stay in command of their forces while a subcommittee of eight members, including the two leaders, is formed to consider unifying the French forces.
