Garnier-Duplessix returned to France in October 1916 and received command of the 37th Infantry Division for the 15 December offensive of the Battle of Verdun and the Nivelle Offensive of April 1917.  He received command of the 9th Army Corps in June 1918 and led that unit to victory in the August Battle of Amiens and the autumn Meuse-Argonne Offensive.  After the war he was posted to Cilicia in the Franco-Turkish War of 1920-1 where he argued against early withdrawal of troops following the March 1921 Cilicia Peace Treaty. [PAR] [TLE] Battle of Amiens (1918) [SEP] The Battle of Amiens, also known as the Third Battle of Picardy (French: "3ème Bataille de Picardie" ), was the opening phase of the Allied offensive which began on 8 August 1918, later known as the Hundred Days Offensive, that ultimately led to the end of the First World War.  Allied forces advanced over 11 km on the first day, one of the greatest advances of the war, with Henry Rawlinson's British Fourth Army playing the decisive role.  The battle is also notable for its effects on both sides' morale and the large number of surrendering German forces.  This led Erich Ludendorff to describe the first day of the battle as "the black day of the German Army".  Amiens was one of the first major battles involving armoured warfare and marked the end of trench warfare on the Western Front; fighting becoming mobile once again until the armistice was signed on 11 November 1918.
