The title on this glass negative is simply "Foch," which points to Ferdinand Foch, the French marshal who led Allied forces on the Western Front during the final year of World War I. The record does not give a date, and the Bain News Service's own title is noted as unverified, so the identification rests on the name alone. The Bain News Service, a New York picture agency active in the early twentieth century, supplied wire photographs of newsworthy figures like Foch to American newspapers. Viewers should treat the subject as probable rather than confirmed.
