It was WWII and it was Vichy controlled. It is perhaps the only occasion when Foreign Legion fought Foreign Legion
I hadn’t thought about that before. Very interesting, thank you
Thanks, Cherie. Isn’t it lovely to see Orwell’s handwriting in his Diaries. For me, it makes History more real and personal. So sad that those pen-and-ink-days are probably gone forever.
Interesting information, Jams. I’ll try to find more.
I find it interesting that some of the events from that time are repeating themselves today. Maybe sad is a more appropriate word the repetition of events…
