When I started this thread, it was to showcase not only the Foreign Legion historically, but to learn more on the theaters of their campaigns, and of course the arms used.
These are breathtaking illustrations!!! such incredible dimension,
Thank you again, and for your continued support in the threads.

Very best regards
Jim
