Yet the might of Rome rests completely on the armored shoulders of the legionaries who hold back the barbarian hordes and push forward the frontiers of empire.

Download or read book The American Legion Weekly, Vol. 8 written by and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-05 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Legion Weekly, Vol. 8: May 7, 1926 HE Legion tradition of service to community was strengthened in Oil City, Pennsylvania, last March when forty members of James M. Henderson Post stood guard during the breaking of an ice gorge in the Allegheny River that brought the community to the brink of disaster and made it necessary that a force auxiliary to the regular police department guard life and property. Press dis patches during February told the country of the menace of the massed ice and of the efforts to mitigate the danger of the gorge through use of thermit, a heating agency of great power. These efforts reduced the size of the gorge, but the Oil City Legionnaires who had been sworn in as special police officers in February were needed when a month later the ice broke up. Let W. N. Curran, First vice-commander of Henderson Post, tell the rest of the story: On Sunday, March twenty-first, the water rose rapidly and the city police, firemen and Legionnaires went into action at once. The Legion Clubrooms were opened and turned over to the Red Cross for relief headquarters, rescue work_in the flood districts immediately began and a traffic squad organized to pre vent congestion in the danger zones. At midnight the power house was flooded, leaving the city in darkness, one bridge wrecked, with rising waters covering the floor of and menacing a second structure: Legion members guarded bridges, patrolled the darkened streets, and continued rescue work with no thought of stopping for sleep or rest. For three days and nights the city was at the mercy of the flood waters, the business district appearing more like Venice than a modern American city, during which time many citizens acquired a new respect for the boys whose only badge was the blue and gold American Legion cap. Proof, if it were needed, that Legion membership means acceptance of civic responsibility above and beyond the ordinary.

Download or read book Legionnaire written by Simon Murray and published by Presidio Press. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A pleasure to read and nearly impossible to put down.” –Army Times “Embodies an experience that many have enjoyed in fantasy–few in reality.” –The Washington Post The French Foreign Legion–mysterious, romantic, deadly–is filled with men of dubious character, and hardly the place for a proper Englishman just nineteen years of age. Yet in 1960, Simon Murray traveled alone to Paris, Marseilles, and ultimately Algeria to fulfill the toughest contract of his life: a five-year stint in the Legion. Along the way, he kept a diary. Legionnaire is a compelling, firsthand account of Murray’s experience with this legendary band of soldiers. This gripping journal offers stark evidence that the Legion’s reputation for pushing men to their breaking points and beyond is well deserved. In the fierce, sun-baked North African desert, strong men cracked under brutal officers, merciless training methods, and barbarous punishments. Yet Murray survived, even thrived. For he shared one trait with these hard men from all nations and backgrounds: a determination never to surrender. “The drama, excitement, and color of a good guts-and-glory thriller.” –Dr. Henry Kissinger

Download or read book Soldier of Rome: The Legionary written by James Mace and published by James Mace. This book was released on 2008-12-06 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rome's Vengeance In the year A.D. 9, three Roman Legions under Quintilius Varus were betrayed by the Germanic war chief, Arminius, and destroyed in the forest known as Teutoburger Wald. Six years later Rome is finally ready to unleash Her vengeance on the barbarians. The Emperor Tiberius has sent his adopted son, Germanicus Caesar, into Germania with an army of forty-thousand legionaries. The come not on a mission of conquest, but one of annihilation. With them is a young legionary named Artorius. For him the war is a personal vendetta; a chance to avenge his brother, who was killed in Teutoburger Wald. In Germania Arminius knows the Romans are coming. He realizes that the only way to fight the legions is through deceit, cunning, and plenty of well-placed brute force. In truth he is leery of Germanicus, knowing that he was trained to be a master of war by the Emperor himself. The entire Roman Empire held its collective breath as Germanicus and Arminius faced each other in what would become the most brutal and savage campaign the world had seen in a generation; a campaign that could only end in a holocaust of fire and blood.
Book Synopsis With the British Legion by : G. A. Henty
Download or read book With the British Legion written by G. A. Henty and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from With the British Legion: A Story of the Carlist Wars The story of the doings of the British Legion under Sir de Lacy Evans in Spain is but little known. It was a failure, and that from no want of heroic courage on the part of the soldiers, but from the most scandalous neglect and ill-treatment by the Government of Queen Christina. So gross was this neglect that within six months of their arrival in the Peninsula nearly five thousand, that is to say half the Legion, had either died from want, privation, or fever in the hospitals of Vittoria, or were invalided home. The remainder, although ill-fed, ill-clothed, and with their pay nine months in arrear, showed themselves worthy of the best traditions of the British army, and it was only at the end of their two years' engagement that, finding all attempts to obtain fair treatment from the Government unavailing, they took their discharge and returned home. The history of their doings is largely founded on a pamphlet by Alex. Somerville, a man of genius who enlisted in the Legion; and the events subsequent to its disbandment are taken from the work of Major Duncan, one of the Commissioners appointed by the British Government to endeavour to see that the conditions of a convention entered into by our Government and the leaders of the contending parties in Spain were duly observed - a convention, however, that had very small influence in checking the atrocities committed by both combatants.
