Rather dangerous of you to take three guesses but you got it at the third try.

FERDINAND FOCH is the correct answer.

To refer to Ferdinand Foch as 'a military man of some sort' is a bit of an interpretive stretch. Especially in the context that the question 'military' was answered as a straight 'yes'. It gives an impression as if he had been somewhat involved in the military without being its formal member; the figures of Che Guevara or Francesco Nullo come to my mind as an example.

In future I could stop providing a summary if that is what you would prefer.

The summary, with the information added, caused confusion, at least in me.
