I imagine the use of parachutes would be rather difficult for the regiment, given that the modern design did not yet exist.
(The 2e REP was founded in '48.)
But the problem here is that (As far as I know) Waterbeetle is referring to how he named the regiment, as the '2eme French Foreign Legion' wouldn't be the proper name for the regiment. Although, given that only one FFL regiment existed in the late war period, none of the names are correct..
Diplex, could you change the RMLE reservation from the abbreviation to the regiment's name, that being
Régiment de marche de la Légion étrangère? (How did it end up abbreviated anyways?
)
(All these parentheses!)
