Trying to work out your post and what you did??? Enlighten me.Glad to have helped
is that you drinking from the helmet?A few photos from Calvi. The legion's cemetery on the hill. Water tower at the entrance to the camp. Also one for Mark and Joe Cos from the wake at the C/Chef's popote...
No...those photos were from a friend who made a quick trip back to Calvi.is that you drinking from the helmet?
what is a corporal chef ? is that a high rank? sorry if it´s a silly question.Actually the A/C is drinking from a helmet. It is a kind of thing that people do. The helmet in question was/is reserved for that. It is one of those things, such as anyone who is not a corporal chef cannot buy a drink. And anyone who puts their beret on the bar has to buy a round of drinks. I hesitate to use the word tradition as I'm working on part 3 of my video.
Did you know that there is only one Voie Sacrée in the legion, that of Aubagne ? and where the name comes from ?
what happens to a leggionare if he dies in combat or just die (whatever the place)? Is he burried inside the legion, or in France's cemetery?A few photos from Calvi.

There are a few cases where legionnaire's have insisted on being buried inside the legion:what happens to a leggionare if he dies in combat or just die (whatever the place)? Is he burried inside the legion, or in France's cemetery?
