In the case of the Foreign Legion

ready been decorated with the Croix
de Guerre. The members of the regi-
ment have also won the honor of wear
ing the famous fourragere in the green
and yellow colors of the Military med
al, while the regiment itself has won
six citations to the order of the day.
With somewhere between fifty and
sixty nationalities at all times repre-
sented in its ranks, the Foreign Legion
has participated in every big offens-
i've on the western front.
With the outbreak of hostilities over
300 Americans to show their sympa-
thies with France enlisted in the Lee
zion. Scores of these were killed later
IN the severe fighting that ensued.
Many others were forced from service
because of wounds. Siiil others were
transferred to other branches of the
lrmv notably the aviation, the La
ayette squadron drawino many of its
,est pilots from the Legion. Still 9th
RS withdrew when their terms of en-
istment expired.
