I used the phrase "Chief of State" because I am not sure of the correct title.

I hope I have my facts right, but I thought the man I had in mind was "Chief of State" for some time before and after the war's end.

His name does not begin with a "D".

Raymond Poincaré , president of the Republic, so Chief of State, from 1913 to 1920, if the searched man was really chief of State.

If not, Georges Clemenceau (President of the Council - prime minister - )

Clemenceau was who I was looking for.
