Excerpt: ...standard is very low and 150 meters the longest range so far. Our old captain puts his ten shots in a circle of eight inches at 400, just to show us what he considers normal Legion shooting--he is considered one of the best shots in France--and Pere Uhlin, who detests marching and drilling, never appears at the butts. In the meantime, I am learning to really speak French and understand the French, and when it is all over, will have material for an interesting book. A bit of silliness that, being on the heart, must come out, is that a Martinique nigger, who believes he has divining powers, fell into a violent fever yesterday after the typhoid inoculation, and prophesied about some of us. Two were to be killed, one of them the Corporal, several of us wounded, and for myself, medaille militaire. I would give my soul for it With love to Ellen and Mother, Yours, Henry Hotel St. Petersbourg, 33 & 35 Rue Caumartin, Paris, January 21, 1915 Dear Aunt Alice: While I was eating sodden potatoes and salt beef out of a tin pail, known as the gammelle, in the room of the 15th Company of the first regiment of the Paris Battalion of the Foreign Legion, a letter was given me, and in it was a check for 5.2s. from you. I don't know when my heart has so bounded with joy. My own funds being somewhat exhausted, I had for ten days been living on the regimental pay, sou per day and half a pound of tobacco every ten days. I don't believe any of your Christmas gifts brought more joy. I immediately obtained leave for the afternoon, and am now just out of a hot bath, am smoking a good cigarette, writing in a comfortable hotel, and am brimming with gratitude. On the 31st of this month we leave for Lyons and on the 15th of February for Albert, a small town...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The French Foreign Legion is a complete, captivating study of the famed fighting force, from its inception in 1831 to modern times. Historian Douglas Porch chronicles the Legion’s involvement in Spain, Mexico, Indochina, Madagascar, WWI, Vietnam, and Algiers (to name a few) and delves into the inner workings of legionnaires and their captains.

In this thoroughly researched and impressive account, Porch reveals the mysteries surrounding a Legion of “unparalleled exoticism, pathos, and drama.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The First World War is widely conceived as a pointless conflict that destroyed a generation. Petty squabbles between emperors pushed na&ïve young men into a nightmare of mud and blood that killed millions and left scarred and embittered survivors. However, the ongoing reinterpretation of the First World War reveals that matters were rather more nuanced and complex. Hardship and death were all too common, but there were positive experiences, too. Vast numbers of people, for example, travelled to new parts of the world and encountered new cultures, inspiring a sense of wonder and respect. Military tactics were improved, and great military commanders of the inter-war and Second World War periods came to prominence during the First World War. The conflict also had a formative influence on politicians, writers, artists, union leaders, businessmen and some ethnic minorities, who used their participation to press for equal rights and full citizenship. This book's 16 chapters, written by a range of leading New Zealand and international historians, explains how.

Download or read book The White Kepi written by Walter Kanitz and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2017-06-28 with total page 519 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heroic figures galloping across the loose sands of the Sahara, their flowing white kepis a symbol of the highest romance and adventure...or murderers and human derelicts, rejected by society and hunted by the police, seeking escape from prison in the ranks of the Légion Étrangère? Neither picture—so commonly held by the general public—is even partially accurate, writes Walter Kanitz. During World War II, Walter Kanitz fought with the Foreign Legion in Africa. He has done a vast amount of research and reading about the Legion, and has made every possible effort to check his facts. His book represents the first comprehensive and objective history of the French Foreign Legion since its inception in 1831 by the royal decree of Louis Philippe. For the better part of its history, the Foreign Legion, remote, fascinating, somewhat sinister, has been shrouded in mystery. It has been called everything from “Desert Carrion” to the “Legion of Beggars.” It was often said that “dogs bark when the Legion passes.” Yet, in battle, the Légionnaires are famed for a courage and heroism that knows no fear of death. They are considered by most professional soldiers to be, as a unit, the best fighting force in the world. When a new recruit applies for enlistment, he is made to wait 24 hours to reconsider his decision. The ranks are made up of men of all nationalities—Germans, Poles, Czechs, Slavs, Spaniards, Americans. It is the only army in existence today made up of mercenaries who have voluntarily signed to serve five years for the government of France. The discipline is harsh and the pay meager. The call to battle has taken Legion units from Mexico to Norway, from China to Morocco. Outside of battle, life consists of infinite boredom broken only by alcohol and an occasional woman. And yet, says ex-Legionnaire Kanitz, “Qu’importe, quand la Légion passe, que les chiens viennent aboyer après d’elle! Vive la Légion!”
