2nd Dragoon Regiment (France)

 * ... that the 2nd Dragoon Regiment is the only military unit ever to receive France's Escapees' Medal, because nearly all of its members escaped from the German occupation of southern France in 1942?
 * ALT1:... that the French Army's only CBRN defence unit, the 2nd Dragoon Regiment, is also its oldest cavalry regiment, originating in 1556?
 * Reviewed: Nymphaea lotus f. thermalis
 * Comment: Lots of great images, but none of them really would work on the main page, oh well. There's a tiny bit borrowed from the French Wikipedia, but you'll see from a quick glance that it's hardly anything.
