Chris Boonzaier Posted June 6, 2021 Posted June 6, 2021 Stealing the thread name from a recent book about the Legion, I thought a study of Legion Postcards would be good fun... The Compagnie Montee of the 1er Regiment Etranger returns to Bou-Denib. It was part of the Haut Guir Column. The Mounted Company had a 2 men 1 mule system. Every hour the men changed, one dismounted, his partner mounted... and they continued moving without having to stop. As the one slid of he pulled the other Legionnaire up.
