'FIGHTING FOR THE FRENCH FOREIGN LEGION (Memoirs of a Scottish Legionnaire) by Alex Lochrie ' This is my autobiography and covers my life from childhood, through my career path to my joining the French Foreign Legion aged 38. The majority of my story is about the 11 years I served with the Legion Parachute Regiment 'La 2eme Regiment Etranger de Parachites'. I take you through selection, and basic training to my para training and active service with my regiment in Africa, the 1st Gulf war and in Bosnia.

It is aimed at everyone who has an interest in this unique organisation. I hopefully dispell many of the myths about brutality and criminals hiding from justice. Todays Legion couldn't be further from this and is perhaps the only true United Nations in our troubled world. Its unique composition of nationalities, religions and cultures gives it a huge start over any other peace keeping force when engaging in countries torn appart by ethnic hatred.

I welcome any comments you wish to make and have included this link to my page on the publishers website which will let you read more about me and what I do now, without any commitment to purchase a book. Of course I hope that you will, but that's your choice.
