On this day in 1863, 65 soldiers of the French Foreign Legion held off up to 3,000 Mexican troops in the La Trinidad Hacienda. When the defenders' ammunition ran out after 8 hours of fighting, the remaining 5 legionnaires mounted a bayonet charge. When he learned that he had been fighting 65 men all day, Colonel Milan, the Mexican commander, said: "These are not men! They are demons!" Tradition Gloss Toy Soldier Camerone set. I own 2.

Not sure they yet have la légionnaire. Politically correct, diversity and all the crap fails on realities. Imagine tchetchen légionnaires with the next 42 or else genres. 😃 They have 5-7 candidates for one slot. |
