A unique command room in Doullens, with stained-glass windows and murals recounting the First World War.

The Single Command Room is a historic site linked to the First World War. It was here that General Foch was appointed commander-in-chief on March 26, 1918, in response to the gravity of the situation on the front. A breach in the Allied lines, Franco-English tensions and the approach of the Germans from Amiens called for this emergency decision. The room features a stained-glass window and murals commemorating this crucial event, as well as the command table.

C'est dans la charmante bourgade de Doullens , au premier étage de l' hôtel de ville que la guerre 14-18 a pris un virage décisif en confiant au Maréchal Foch le commandement unique de toutes les armées françaises, anglaises, australiennes et toutes les autres nations engagées dans la guerre le 26 mars 1918.
La table est mentionnée de tous les généraux présents . Quelques peintures murales, de portraits et de vitrines agrémentent le tout.
Une plaque à l' occasion du centenaire de l' événement a été inauguré en présence de Madame Darrieussecq, secrétaire d' Etat auprès de la ministre des armées.
