A Soldier of the Legion
Originally published in 1907, A Soldier of the Legion is a narrative account of the author. George Manington shares his experiences of his 5 years as a Legionnaire in the French Foreign Legion. He relates how he enlisted and was then sent to Algeria and later on to Indo China to combat the insurgents. Full of interesting anecdotes and information about the life of a legionnaire in peace and war and quite a read. Most of the narrative deals with Tonquin, and the fighting there against the rebels in their forest fastnesses. Incidentally, in giving an account of his friendship for the native sergeant, Doy-Tho, the author has been able to impart to the pages of the book an Oriental atmosphere that we think will prove attractive to the reader.
