And Here’s Jonny!

With his poem that suddenly appeared in his mind. (not perfected yet, but here is an early release. (patent not pending).

The Legionnaire:

- They can’t understand us
- Or where we may have come from
- Where is our country that is not theirs
- Why risk our life in a battle not ours

- Are we there for money or fame
- Or just to avoid the boredom of an orderly life,
- or perhaps, to forget an old pretty flame
-
March on legionnaire;

- Your life will forever be coloured by the morning
- You decided for sure
- You were going to join the French Foreign Legion

Cheers, guys!

Yes this is the newest one, it's the one with Buffalo Bill in it.
Correct. The CCH we see at the beginning is welcoming a candidate coming from Tahiti and taking him to the Fort de Nogent recruiting center.
