First battle of the Marne 1914
Context: "With the battlefield reverses of August, Field Marshal John French, commander of the British Expeditionary Force (BEF), lost faith in his French allies and began to plan for a British retreat to port cities on the English Channel for an evacuation to Britain."
His name is French (while he's the only non-French commander) and he wanted to leave the French troops by retreating back to Britain (but in the end he didn't fortunately)
