Bonjour:
I saw a reference somewhere regarding an A&E or Discovery Channel on the Guns of the Foreign Legion.
Does anyine know if it was broadcast and/or if it's available on DVD?
Merci.

It was the Weaponology series on the Military channel. They used our unit in the production. I dunno if it's out on DVD as of yet.

That probably explains the extreme lack of trench guns in that particular production.

It's obvious to me that the production company was "gotten to" first.

History Channel Shop has a DVD for sale with the following description. Is it the one you guys worked on?
Actor Stacy Keach narrates this sweeping look at the history of the most romanticized fighting force in history.
They are the last refuge for the desperate, a place where a man's past is forgiven and forgotten and one of the most difficult and demanding fighting forces on earth.
No other force has captured the imagination of so many men as the French Foreign Legion. From the desert sands of Algeria to the beleaguered airstrip at Dien Bien Phu, the Legion has held together through good times and bad because of a strong sense of brotherhood and loyalty to the cause. And they have fought in some of history's most storied battles. THE FRENCH FOREIGN LEGION is a thrilling trip through the bloody history of this fabled fighting force. Journey back to Napoleonic France to uncover its origins, and follow its growing legend through the decades. See how men were drawn to the Legion by its promise that when a recruit signs up, his past is forgotten, but his future is France's. Die and you die a hero, live and all past sins are forgiven.
From Beau Geste to its surprising survival in the modern world, this is the gripping story of THE FRENCH FOREIGN LEGION.
Merci Beaucoup.

Stacy Keach didn't narrate the show we were on. It wasn't that "Big Time" for us!!!!  Our stuff has gotta be somewhere on You Tube! Renault |
