Foreign Legion in the Sahara

[David R]

I think a lot of interesting conversations would suffer, if arbitrary cut off dates were enforced. I do understand the methodology behind this, but we are here to enjoy rich conversations... (and even as a native English speaker I accept that this is a clumsy sentence).

Now here is a fun challenge, one of these soldiers is French Foreign legion, who, where, when and which nation issued the photo so it's soldiers knew not to shoot at them. And it's within the cut off date.

And another from the same campaign and era.

I would say the boxer uprising in China around 1900. I would say the legionar in the first picture is the one in the middle (because of the length of the bayonet!).
