2018 Military Odyssey

As usual, our small Indochina section did a combine photo shoot with members of an other Living History society, this year " The Fighting French" a group specialising into French WWII and Indochina and who I have known for years. 
IMG_1118.jpg
This year RT Indo photos shoot was of the 6e BCCP 
Bataillon Colonial de Commando parachutistes circa 1949/50  
This battalion which will become later on the 6th BCP and one of the most famous battalions in the French army having been commanded by  "BRUNO"
General Marcel Bigeard in Indochina 
and Algeria and having fought at 
Dien Bien Phu.
