15th August 1914
Dinant in Belgium has been destroyed by German bombs. Japan has joined the allies side in the battle for victory.
What people didn't know at the time was that Charles De Gaulle, later to become a popular man within France, had been injured in Dinant. Whilst recovering from his injuries in hospital, he spent most of his time working on tactics to help win the war. Charles was to survive the war and fight through world war 2 as well. He died at his home in 1970 at nearly 80 years old.
