The account is based on as yet unused origi- nal documents, since they come from the private papers of a few surviving veterans, veteran’s widows and children, of which the author is one. This book is the fruit of four years’ research and is lavishly illustrated with more than 300 photos, some unpublished, and objects and insignia coming partly from the collections belonging to the museums of the Troupes de Marine in Fréjus and of the Tradition des Fusiliers Marins in Lorient, which will delight historians just as much as collectors.
