French Legionnaire Officer Preparing to Fire
Return to Foreign Legion
The French Foreign Legion, one of the world’s most iconic military forces. The Foreign Legion was created by King Louis Philippe, on 10 March 1831 allowing the incorporation of foreign nationals into the French Army from the foreign regiments of the Kingdom of France.
The establishment of the new regiment specified that the foreigners recruited could only serve outside France. Created to fight "outside mainland France", the Foreign Legion was stationed in Algeria. The Foreign Legion was initially divided into six "national battalions" (Swiss, Poles, Germans, Italians, Spanish, and Dutch-Belgian). Smaller national groups, such as ten Englishmen recorded in December 1832, appear to have been placed randomly.
The Legion has since grown to become one of the toughest and most respected armed forces around the world and still to this day holds a magic and allure that still entices many a young man to enlist and lose his old identity and gain a new one, so long as he can endure five years of service with them.
Limited Availability.
