And it is her image of the moody and uncompromising Legionnaire, attracted by the promise of �blood, bullets, bayonets and women in an Arab land�, that gets closest to the historical and psychological truth, as laid before us in this gripping, disturbing and controversial account of the Legion�s first century.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;For the all-volunteer corps of the French Army, founded in 1831, was neither comical, nor an excuse for high-spirited larks. It was brutal and often monstrous.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Created to participate in France�s colonial expansion to Algeria, Morocco, Madagascar, Indochina and Mexico, �we scare people, we inspire fear and perhaps admiration, which is a little too thin a reward sometimes; but love, never�.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;RELATED ARTICLES&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Previous&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;1&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Next&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Sex, soldiers and a very special relationship: Pals were... He was a doctor to royalty and collector supreme who created... &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Share this article&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Share Even the unique right to hire men regardless of their nationality was a cynical move.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Since Napoleon and his casualties were still a living memory, the French government wanted an army �that could face danger and human losses without drawing the political backlash that French-born victims would elicit�.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Out of this came the Legion�s legendary appeal to ne�er-do-wells, broken-hearted lovers, criminals, political refugees and �scions of aristocratic families leaving behind gambling debts�.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Anyone physically fit was accepted, especially if they had teeth strong enough to bite the biscuit rations. No questions were asked at the headquarters in Sidi Bel Abbes, Algeria.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;The band of outcasts were fearless and had 'no families, no ideals' and 'no loves�&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;�You can choose a new name if you like,� recruits were told. �We don�t ask for documents.�&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;As mercenaries, the men fought for the Legion itself, united against everyone else.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;�Legio Patria Nostra,� ran the motto - the Legion is our country. �We don�t give a damn what we fight for. It�s our job. We�ve nothing else in life. No families, no ideals, no loves.�&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;By 1900, there were 11,500 men in this band of scary outcasts. Blanchard calculates that between 1831 and 1962, when Algeria was grudgingly granted independence and the French left North Africa, approximately 600,000 people had joined up.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;It is chilling to discover that Jean-Marie Le Pen spent a formative three years in the Legion, and that recently a retired commander was arrested for making anti-Islam protests at Calais  �The substantial majority of them were Germans or Northern Europeans,� we are informed.

There was one Turk, one New Zealander and lots of Americans during the Great Depression of the Thirties.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Exhausting route-marches in Saharan temperatures of 50c with heavy backpacks, where �acid sweat burned your skin� and �you march with your shoes full of blood�, would not be my cup of tea. But, according to Blanchard, the typical Legionnaire was a man who found �redemption and an existential purpose through camaraderie and abnegation�.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;�Excessive revelry� was condoned by the generals, who believed �one did not build empires with virgins� A Legionnaire who was shot in the stomach and lying on the ground with his intestines escaping was heard to murmur to his captain: �Are you happy with me?� This is the kind of stoicism that was expected.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;�Excessive revelry� was condoned by the generals, who believed �one did not build empires with virgins�.

In Legionnaires� hospitals, a coffin, slathered with quicklime, was placed in readiness under a patient�s bed.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;It was said of a soldier about to die that he was off to �eat bananas by the roots� - i.e. be buried in soft soil.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;The deliberate hardship was not unlike that of a religious order, with its renunciation of worldly comforts - though entertainment involved lots of drag shows.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Legionnaires made �splendid female impersonators�. Homosexual activity was commonplace, as you�d expect with �5,000 young solid males, boiling with vigour and vitality� at a loose end in the fort.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;When Kaiser Wilhelm tried to discourage Germans from joining up by publishing articles warning against sexual abuse in the desert, men with Heidelberg duelling scars raced to enlist.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;As 43 per cent of the corps was German, perhaps it is no surprise the Foreign Legion didn�t rescue France when the country was occupied by Nazis during World War II.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;The French government maintained that this imperial experiment was to bring �reason, progress, science, culture and freedom� to backward jungle regions and wildernesses Blanchard�s story concludes with the centenary of the corps in 1931, the parades and so forth.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;I am keen to read a further volume about post-colonial activities, particularly because, since 1962 when Sidi Bel Abbes was abandoned for a new HQ in Marseille, 50,000 men have felt the need to run away and join the Legion.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;It is chilling to discover that Jean-Marie Le Pen spent a formative three years in the Legion, and that recently a retired commander was arrested for making anti-Islam protests at Calais.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Advertisement&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
