| Date | 1915 |
| Description | Joffre and King Albert of Belgium |
| Details |
General Joffre in conversation with King Albert of Belgium (1875-1934), Commander-in-Chief of the Belgian army. Albert was credited with leading a gallant Belgian resistance against the German army as they swept through Belgium in August 1914, giving the French and British armies time to prepare for the Battle of the Marne. He was a popular figure, but in reality, his desire for Belgian neutrality meant a difficult relationship with the Allied commanders.
