Return to the Foreign Legion

The French Foreign Legion, one of the world’s most iconic military forces. The Foreign Legion was created by King Louis Philippe, on 10 March 1831 to allowing the incorporation of foreign nationals into the French Army from the foreign regiments of the Kingdom of France. The establishment of the new regiment specified that the foreigners recruited could only serve outside France. Created to fight “outside mainland France”, the Foreign Legion was stationed in Algeria. The Foreign Legion was initially divided into six “national battalions” (Swiss, Poles, Germans, Italians, Spanish, and Dutch-Belgian). Smaller national groups, such as ten Englishmen recorded in December 1832, appear to have been placed randomly.
