I realised the other day that I have a lot of French Foreign Legion posts scattered about. Since one can never have enough of the FLL, I am writing a meta post, that pulls them all together. But before I do that, let me ask you a question: how many legionnaires fit into a portaloo? [...]

French Foreign Legion: Sexy Legionnaires
Posted in French Foreign Legion, Images, Inspiration, Military, Soldiers, Uniforms, tagged French Forces, Légion étrangère, Legionnaires, Photography, Photos on April 17, 2009 | 6 Comments »
Charlie Dave on Flickr has an absolutely excellent set of photos of soldiers. I am particularly enamoured with his series of Legionnaires (no surprise there, if you’ve read my Code of Honour …) and assorted other French men in uniform. Those will come later, and oh lala, I can tell you, there is something exceedingly [...]

There have been a few more reviews lately, and it is wonderful to have so many people read the anthology and write about it.
The latest one that I came across is on Amazon.
The review is by Amos Lassen and here is an excerpt of what the reviewer says about Code of Honour:

“Code of Honour” reviews
Posted in French Foreign Legion, Military Gay Erotic Fiction, Publishing, Reviews, Writing, tagged Marquesate, Légion étrangère, Legionnaires, Anthology, Short Story, Marriage Equality, Prop 8 on January 25, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Code of Honour received three great reviews. Indie’s is fascinating – and I say fascinating, because it made me think about the story and gave me insights into the characters that I hadn’t had before. I’m the author, but that doesn’t mean that I know everything – far from it. It is often the readers, [...]

You know when Joe, our wee legionnaire, from Code of Honour dances shirtless on the table in the Quartier Marais, during the Bal de Pompiers? This is the music he is dancing to (Rhythm is a Dancer, by Snap, 1992)

Well, well, well, all this talk about the French Foreign legion … it did have to end up in me writing a story, didn’t it? I wrote a French Foreign Legion short story (not *that* short, actually, around 9.5k) for a print anthology that will be published by MLR [...]
The Legionnaire’s Code of Honour

1. Legionnaire : you are a volunteer serving France faithfully and with honor.
2. Every Legionnaire is your brother-at-arms, irrespective of his nationality, race or creed. You will demonstrate this by an unwavering and straight forward solidarity which must always bind together members of the same family.
3. Respectful of the [...]

I could write a whole post about identity, but … that would be written by Marquesate the Real Life person and we don’t want that, now do we? Oh no. We don’t. Never the twain shall meet.
Instead have a post about La Legion Etrangere and the way [...]
