Wednesday 5th of July 1911
President of the French Republic Georges Jean Raymond Pompidou is born in Montboudif, Auvergne, France.
According to his father, Pierre Pompidou was an American who attended the International School at the French Études Universitaires of Paris. During the war many French servicemen and women were injured as a result of their engagements in the war in the south, which cost Pierre Pompidou dearly. In October of 1918 he received the prestigious Stiftung Medal for his heroism during the fighting of Kursk and subsequently received another Stiftung Medal for his heroism during the Battle of Paris. Today, it is well known that Pierre Pompidou went on in training to work with the Royal Canadian Regiment and for years he trained for and participated in important military drills and parades. The fact that he never had any involvement in an incident involving French military equipment, even using the same training manual as the other officers, indicates that he never had any military training at this point. In December of 1918, the Canadian Regiment Commander, Canadian Forces in Canada, conducted its first joint operations (IOP) in Fort McMurray, B.C. Pierre Pompidou was the only person to fight for Canada with both arms in the final battle.
