Is there a "6 REG"?

There was, but no longer*. It was only around from 1984-1999; kind of a short-lived unit, as there's a few European and American regiments that date back to the 1600's and earlier.

*But, their lineage continues today as the 1er REG. Kind of like those other older regiments, some of whom have changed names and numbers many times over the centuries.

Here it is The Quiz. I even changed the title of the thread.
I was going to put something sarcastic at the end of it like saying something in the line of ' A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL THOSE WHO HAVE PARTICIPATED BY SENDING ME SOME QUESTIONS' Instead of the by default Thank you...
But then I thought no, I'm actually doing this for my own knowledge - how to use MS Forms. Which hopefully, fingers crossed, this will go without glitch so that I can add it to my CV. There is more than just quizzes in Microsoft Forms.
There are 25 questions worth 2 points, split into three sections:
Section 1 general knowledge, which includes General Rollet (if you don't know who he is then there's no point in taking the quiz) and Lois Philippe (ditto for General Rollet)
Section 2 Legion weapons.
Section 3 Legion Vehicles.
Where it says that the question is obligatory to answer. Well it's ... obligatory :rolleyes: :whistle::oops:

There is a whopping total of 50Pts. and what do points make?

It's Quiz ▶ time !!!:love: 1596950876990.png I've tried it out on smart phone and it does work. I'd appreciate it if someone else could also try it out.

Joe according to wikipedia you didn't offer correct answer for general Rollet's age when he died. How do I know? :) No I don't cheated and ask google for answers. I was checking something after I did quiz.

You are quite correct Dusa. He was 65 years old old at the time of his death.
Echoscar, I'm sure of his place of burial.

Hi Hotsauced, I tried to download the app (not the french one) when I tried to open it, it wouldn't work. I've deleted it now. Does it give the possibilities to creat your own flash cards?

Yes, you're able to create a custom set of flash cards.
You can even use Excel to create your custom set of flash cards.
