Le Marechal Joffre: "At the funeral of General Manoury, made Marechal de France after his death, I gave him entire credit for winning the battle of the Marne by loading his army into the taxicabs of Paris and by a quick sortie turning von Kluck's flank.
But we say to you, Joffre, Marechal de France, that those thousand men, upreared in the spirit of liberty and proud in their strength, are worth more than a regiment of infantry. They would have stood well in the forefront of battle beside your bravest at the Marne.
