# Tricolour Legion

The Tricolour Legion (French: Légion Tricolore), which existed almost entirely on paper between 22 June 1942 and 28 December 1942, was an initiative of the Vichy government under the auspices of Pierre Laval and his Secretary of State Jacques Benoist-Méchin to politically and militarily co-opt the Legion of French Volunteers Against Bolshevism (Légion des volontaires français contre le bolchevisme (LVF)), created on 8 July 1941. The latter in effect had the status of a private legal group under the exclusive control of French collaborationists, and its combat wing was integrated into the German Army as Infanterie Regiment 638.

## Goals of the Tricolore Legion

* Making of the LVF a French force that could fight for France, according to goals set by France. But the fighters of the LVF served on the Eastern Front as the German 638th infantry regiment, which made it impossible to recruit soldiers of the Armistice Army, who were forbidden to serve in a foreign uniform.
* Making of the LVF a political instrument of the government.
The LVF was torn by collaborationist political parties who fought one another to put themselves at the head of it. Its management was deplorable, embezzlement was frequent, and the tentacles of its bureaucracy were comfortably ensconced in Paris while its troops were massacred at the front.
The Tricolor Legion therefore should allow:
* Tearing the LVF away from its political infighting;
* Creating a French force with French goals (notably intervention in North Africa);
* Recruiting the soldiers of the Armistice Army;
* Intensifying collaboration with the Germans.

## Failure to establish the Tricolore Legion

The Legion failed largely because the French officials assumed that the Germans would approve. The Germans on the other hand had no desire to set up such a force, which could be turned against them if by chance the situation came to allow it, such as in the event of an alliance of the Vichy government with the Allies.
A delegate of the armistice commission investigated and the Germans required the French State to dissolve the Tricolore Legion that they were not recognizing, and Hitler banned the group on 17 September 1942. French law number 1113 of 28 December 1942 (Journal officiel du 17 janvier 1943) dissolved the unit.

## Consequences

* With the Legion dissolved, a good number of its members who did not belong to the Armistice Army rejoined the LVF.
* The LVF gained some candidates from the Légion tricolore.
* The collaborationist parties who had feared the Legion co-opting the LVF were strengthened.
* For the Vichy government, it was a burning failure.

## Aftermath

In North Africa, in Algiers after the Allied debarkment, the creation of a local Tricolore Legion was suggested, under the command of general Giraud. This project ran into strong local opposition. Volunteers were however recruited to form the French Corps d'Afrique, to fight alongside the Americans.

# Pierre Bénézech

Pierre Bénézech, (born in Montpeyroux April 8, 1749, died at Cap Français in Saint-Domingue on June 13, 1802) was a French politician.

## Biography

Before the Revolution, he was the owner of the fr:Petites Affiches, a law gazette. At the same time, he fulfilled the functions of principal resident agent of the Estates of Languedoc in Paris. He also managed the fortune of his wife, who was the widow of Baron Claude Théophile de Boeil.
When the French Revolution broke out, Bénézech espoused its principles and became commander of the National Guard and then administrator of the department of Seine-et-Oise.
In 1794 he was called by the Committee of Public Safety to chair the eleventh commission on weapons, powder and mining. He launched a major campaign for the extraction of saltpetre, he activated the work of the mines, centralising the arms industry, and creating a munitions factory in Versailles.
On November 3, 1795, he was appointed Minister of the Interior under the Directory. In the management of this ministry, he showed organizational talents and great activity. He created councils for agriculture, commerce and the arts, reformed the École polytechnique and the education system and promoted the fine arts, particularly favouring the Louvre over other institutions.
He found himself compromised in the Grenelle camp conspiracy, although he was able to prove his innocence. His friendships with some of the most prominent deputies of the Club de Clichy prompted the Directory, on July 14, 1797, to replace him at the Ministry of the Interior with Nicolas François de Neufchâteau.
Following the coup of 18 Brumaire, which he supported, he entered the Conseil d'État established by the consulate but did not play any significant role there. Napoleon entrusted him with the inspection of the Tuileries Palace and made him a sort of master of ceremonies and maître d'hôtel of the place.
Uncomfortable in these functions, he asked the First Consul for permission to accompany, as colonial prefect, General Leclerc, who commanded the expedition against Saint-Domingue. Having left with his family, in the hope of asserting the rights he held from his father-in-law over large properties located in this colony, he died there in 1802, shortly after his arrival, of yellow fever.

# John McClelland (doctor)

John McClelland or M'Clelland (1805 – 31 July 1883) was a British medical doctor with interests in natural history, who worked for the East India Company in India and Burma. He served as a temporary curator of the museum of the Asiatic Society of Bengal just before a permanent curator was found in Edward Blyth.
McClelland is thought to have been born in Ireland, studied medicine and was admitted member of the Royal College of Surgeons in 1828. He entered the service of the East India Company in the Bengal Medical Service on 7th April 1830. In 1835 he was sent on a mission (Tea Committee) to identify if tea could be grown in north-eastern India along with Nathaniel Wallich and William Griffith. This mission ran into troubles with the members of the group clashing with each other.
McClelland was appointed 1836 as the secretary of the "Coal Committee", the forerunner of the Geological Survey of India (GSI), formed to explore possibilities to exploit Indian coal. He was the first to propose hiring professional geologists for the task. He was also involved in surveys of forests and his reports led to the establishment of the Forest Department in India. In 1838 he was a temporary curator of the museum of the Asiatic Society of Bengal. In 1839 he was offered the permanent post of curator of the museum of the Asiatic Society of Bengal but he rejected the offer because he did not accept the terms of two hours daily attendance at the museum and to produce monthly reports of progress. At the time he was deputy apothecary, assistant opium examiner as well as secretary to the coal and iron committee with the first position requiring his presence in office from eleven to four daily. The curator position was then filled by Edward Blyth. McClelland quit the Asiatic Society of Bengal and founded and edited the Calcutta Journal of Natural History, and Miscellany of the Arts and Sciences in India which ran from 1841 to 1847. McClelland was influenced by the quinarian system.
McClelland also served as an interim superintendent of the Calcutta Botanical Garden from 1846 to 1847. He was superintendent of forests in lower Burma from 1852 to 1856. In 1860 he became junior inspector general and in 1862, following the retirement of John Forsyth, he was made Inspector General and he retired on 24th November 1865. He died at Hastings and was buried at St. Leonards-on-Sea. The grave stone also records the death of his wife Sophie, "wife of Henry Swaine and Widow of the above, John McClelland, Who died April 5, 1885, Aged 44 years."

## Work and legacy

McClelland's major botanical contribution was his editing of the work of William Griffith which was published posthumously as Notulae ad plantas asiaticas. In his original work as an ichthyologist he described many species and several genera of fish, among them Schistura. The Spotted codlet fish Bregmaceros mcclellandi W. Thompson, 1840 is named after him. McClelland is commemorated in the name of the mountain bulbul, Ixos mcclellandii and a species of snake, Sinomicrurus macclellandi.
