GP! Great stuff! and the cowbell thing is classic of all time, Ive done a lot of Walken, he's one of a kind.
On the stronger stuff.....we called tequila...ta'killya....the next AM , oh no!

Fascinating on the later exploits of the Legion, and good on your dad in the 9th!
Thanks so much,
All the best
Jim

GP THANK YOU AGAIN!!!!!
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
