I think that you spelled Ferdinand wrong...
Ferdinand Foch was the Allied Commander on the Western Front. Paul von Hindenburg was the commander for the Germans.
The British and French tried to "coordinate" operations for the first couple of years. Finally realizing this was unsatisfactory they agreed that Field Marshal Ferdinand Foch of the French Army would be their overall commander. When America entered the war, it did not fight as an "ally" of anyone, but rather as an "associated power" of the Allies. This meant that the commander of the American Expeditionary Force was not bound by any order of Foch. The Americans did cooperate and coordinate their operations with the others, but Pershing's independence allowed him to resist the endless calls for American soldiers to be placed in French and British units, under French and British commanders, and to fight his army as an American Army. The French demands for fresh American troops to serve in their units continued almost until the last day, and there were several stormy scenes between Foch and Pershing when Pershing unobligingly refused to send the French Army Americans for replacements.
No, Ferdinand VII is not single.
