31st / 42nd Battalion , Royal Queensland Regiment The 31st / 42nd Battalion , Royal Queensland Regiment ( 31 / 42 RQR ) is a Reserve infantry battalion of the Australian Army . Although it was officially formed as 31 / 42 RQR in January 2008 by the amalgamation of two previously existing infantry battalions — the 31st Battalion , Royal Queensland Regiment and the 42nd Battalion , Royal Queensland Regiment — the unit has a long history , and can trace its lineage back to units formed in 1881 as part of the colonial defence forces of the state of Queensland . These units were mainly used in home defence duties , although during the Second Boer War and World War I many of their members volunteered for overseas service and by virtue of this service battle honours from these wars were bestowed upon these units . During World War II , both of these units were called upon to play an active role in the fighting in the Pacific , thus earning more battle honours for themselves . After the war , these units were disbanded and then reformed as part of the Citizens Military Force in 1948 , which was a forerunner to the current Australian Army Reserve , and as a part of that organisation both 31 and 42 RQR continued to exist in various forms for the next 60 years before it was decided to amalgamate the two units early in 2008 . Currently , 31 / 42 RQR has depots located along the Queensland coast from Gladstone to Cairns . In February 2009 the battalion returned from a successful deployment as part of Rifle Company Butterworth Rotation 84 . See also :

Le Boudin " Le Boudin " ( ) is the official march of the French Foreign Legion . " Le Boudin " is a reference to boudin , a type of blood sausage or black pudding . Le boudin colloquially meant the gear ( rolled up in a red blanket ) that used to top the backpacks of Legionnaires . Overview . While the tune was composed prior to the Legion ' s departure for Mexico in the 1860s the lyrics were progressively composed after the Franco - Prussian War , since Alsatians and Lorrains flocked to the legion after these regions were annexed by Germany . The song makes also repeated reference to the fact that the Belgians are " lazy shirkers " , this come from the fact that the King of the Belgians , who wished to remain neutral in the Franco - German conflict , asked the French government to not commit the Belgian Legionnaires into the conflict . France agreed to this request and the Belgian Legionnaires remained in French Algeria ( the Legion ' s home ) , to the dismay of the rest of the Legionnaires . This is why the song says that there ' s no blood sausage ( boudin ) for the Belgians . The song also mentions the Swiss who constituted the most important foreign contingent of the Legion in the 1870s . The song relates the feat of arms of the Legion in Tuyen Quang ( 1884 - 1885 ) and in Camerone ( 1863 ) , which would became the Legion ' s anniversary . " Le Boudin " is sung while standing to attention by all ranks of the French Foreign Legion . The Legion marches at only 88 steps per minute , much slower than the 120 steps per minute of all other French military units . Consequently , the Legion contingent at the Bastille Day military parade march brings up the rear . Nevertheless , the Legion gets the most enthusiastic response from the crowd . The song is sung by the depleted half - company of Legionnaires in PC Wren ' s classic novel ' Beau Geste ' when the tiny Garrison fool the besieging Tauregs into thinking that they are still at full strength . The Hollywood versions of ' Beau Geste ' don ' t include this vital part of the story , but the 1982 mini - series by the BBC stays true to the book and shows the soldiers singing the song . ( reference 19 minutes in http : / / www . youtube . com / watch ? v = oG - af5KBezI ) The 1978 film ' March or Die ' also features legionnaires singing the song , at the command of their officer Major Foster , played by Gene Hackman . ( reference http : / / www . youtube . com / watch ? v = SUKr5JIQYAA ) . The song also features in the 1998 film ' Legionnaire ' starring Jean Claude Van Damme , though in this film the soldiers don ' t sing the song to its traditional tune .

30 cm Raketenwerfer 56 The 30 cm Raketenwerfer 56 was a German multiple rocket launcher used in the Second World War . It served with units of the " Nebeltruppen " , the German equivalent of the U .

Horner and other members of his company were attacking Wurselen , Germany , against stubborn resistance on 16 November 1944 , when machinegun fire from houses on the edge of the town pinned the attackers in flat , open terrain 100 yards from their objective . As they lay in the field , enemy artillery observers directed fire upon them , causing serious casualties . Realizing that the machineguns must be eliminated in order to permit the company to advance from its precarious position , S / Sgt . Horner voluntarily stood up with his submachine gun and rushed into the teeth of concentrated fire , burdened by a heavy load of ammunition and hand grenade s . Just as he reached a position of seeming safety , he was fired on by a machinegun which had remained silent up until that time . He coolly wheeled in his fully exposed position while bullets barely missed him and killed 2 hostile gunners with a single , devastating burst . He turned to face the fire of the other 2 machineguns , and dodging fire as he ran , charged the 2 positions 50 yards away . Demoralized by their inability to hit the intrepid infantryman , the enemy abandoned their guns and took cover in the cellar of the house they occupied . S / Sgt . Horner burst into the building , hurled 2 grenades down the cellar stairs , and called for the Germans to surrender . Four men gave up to him . By his extraordinary courage , S / Sgt . Horner destroyed 3 enemy machinegun positions , killed or captured 7 enemy , and cleared the path for his company ' s successful assault on Wurselen .
