Im looking for any DVDs on this, educational only, any help badly needed

Perhaps this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Foreign-Legion/dp/B0006ZLD8M

A bit outdated perhaps but worth a view.

I recommend the book "My Five Years As Legionaire" by Øyvind Paulsen, Orion Publishing. I am not sure if it's available in English but to give you a brief summary he joined the FFL in the mid 80s and has described in detail his life in the legion the five years until he was dismissed. A good read.

Dougal,

where I'm posted we teach Army recruits and one of the videos we show is called "Recruits. " It features the training and history of the FFL - but also the US Marines and British Army. It is a British production and probably 20 years old. Don't think you can buy it but libraries, especially military ones should have it.

dougal · June 23rd, 2009

Ive found only one dvd and have read a few books. What books can any of you suggest?

Hmmmm....
If it's general curiosity, I also came across a book called Life in the French Foreign Legion.
http://www.amazon.com/Life-French-Fo.../dp/1555716334
It's actually not just a story but a guide for people interested in joining so there's actually a wealth of information about the Legion. I read it and enjoyed it.

Ask any ARW soldier you know.
He will most likely know someone, or know of someone that have gone the FFL route.
Then you could get your information first hand.

Are there specific questions you want answered PM them to me and I´ll have a look see what I can dig up for you.
We have had a few of our own who went that route..
