It is in the Brenne region that the young volunteers of the 4th RE of Castelnaudary carried out the scheduled walk at the end of their first month of training, a 50 km walk prior to this delivery of Kepi.
This presentation of the Kepi, which marks the official entry into the Legion, took place in Châteauroux on Saturday, October 15, a moment of emotion for all the participants.
On Sunday morning, the new legionnaires were welcomed into “la maison départementale de la mémoire militaire” by Marie, Frédéric, Jean-Jacques and Roland for a memorial visit.
We reminded them, among other things:
- the epic of Eugène Jacques BULARD, of American origin, legionnaire in 1915, WW1 hero who passed by the flying school of La Martinerie and was seriously injured in 1940;
- the baptism of the Equipment EVSO from the class of 81-82, which took the name of a legionnaire ": promotion A/C CAZEAUX";
- and, more recently, the creation of a stele by Frédéric for the “Centre d’Hébergement et d’accueil de la Légion étrangère”.
