When asked by Franchet d'Espérey be ready to attack on 6 September, General Hache of III Corps "looked as if he had been hit on the head with a club".
Between 15 and 29 September 1918, Franchet d'Espèrey, in command of a large army of Greeks (9 divisions), French (6 divisions), Serbs (6 divisions), British (4 divisions) and Italians (1 division), staged a successful offensive in Macedonia that ended by taking Bulgaria out of the war.
