French Foreign Legion, Morocco, 1906. With Chasseurs d'Afrique (authentic pairing), Gary Cooper 2nd from the left in the first company.

Fort Soixante-Neuf is not part of the entry, being Leven; just there for atmosphere.

Michael York and Marty Feldman are on the MG. Note also Peter Ustinov next to Lt LeJeaune.
