...Foreign Legion, which was created 131 years ago for the express purpose of conquering Algeria, must now leave Algeria. The vanguard of a 1,500-man detachment has already gone to its new training area in the hills of Corsica. Another detachment is moving to new headquarters at Aubagne, a suburb of Marseille -marking the first time that the Legion has been stationed on the French mainland in peacetime.
