Marshal Pétain for doing so. De Gaulle gave him command of the Free French forces for the
Syrian campaign and he then became ‘Delegate-General and Plenipotentiary’ for the Levant. One of the original members of the
French Committee for National Liberation, formed in June 1943, he was appointed governor- general of his birthplace, Algeria, the same month before being appointed the minister for French North Africa that September.
