French Foreign Legion

A great start to our lecture programme last night (2 October 2012), with an eye-opening and thought provoking talk by Alex Lochrie.  He shared with us some of his wonderful experiences while serving with the French Foreign legion (la Legion d'Etrangere).  He left us with many points to ponder about the current conflict in North Africa and the Middle East.
You can find more information about the Legion, in English or French, at the following websites:-
