Commentary
Tranche inscrite ; “LA LEGION” A SON VICE-PRESIDENT HONORAIRE. KAUFFMANN 1901-1951.”
La Légion étrangère est un corps de l'armée de terre française disposant d'un commandement particulier. La légion est également indépendante du point de vue de son recrutement.
Formée en 1831 pour permettre l'incorporation de soldats étrangers dans l'armée française, une partie de ses unités a fait partie, jusqu'en 1962, fin de la période coloniale, du 19e corps d'armée, noyau de l'Armée d'Afrique.
L'engagement à la Légion est réservé aux hommes dont l'âge est compris entre 17 ans et 40 ans (dérogation possible) et a compté depuis sa création et jusqu'en 1963 plus de 600 000 soldats dont une majorité d'Allemands, suivi de 3 fois et demie moins d'Italiens, puis de Belges, mais aussi de Français, d'Espagnols et de Suisses. De nombreuses autres nationalités sont représentées, comme les pays d'Europe de l'Est et les Balkans, majoritaires dans les années 2000. Ce corps d'armée reste, pour la majorité, un moyen d'immigration privilégié afin de changer de vie, d'oublier son passé, de se faire oublier, ou tout simplement de trouver une vie meilleure. Pour quelques autres, le prestige de la Légion et l'amour du pays demeurent la cause de leur volontariat. Les motifs de l'engagement ainsi que le recrutement restent encore aujourd'hui un sujet plus ou moins tabou, même si le sujet est souvent abordé au sein de la Légion lors du processus de recrutement..

Historical background
IV REPUBLIC
(16/01/1947-8/01/1959)
Characterized by a parliamentary regime coupled with great ministerial instability, the Fourth Republic has the particularity of never having been officially proclaimed. Indeed, De Gaulle, when he arrived in Paris on August 25, 1944, refused to do so on the pretext that the Republic had never ceased to exist. Considering that the French State of Marshal Pétain was only a simple state of affairs, he considers that the Republic survived in free France and his birth certificate must then be June 18, 1940. However, his departure, the January 20, 1946, and the referendum of October 13, 1946 approving a new Constitution, mark the official beginning of this republic. It knows two presidents: Vincent Auriol (16/01/1947 - 23/12/1953) and René Coty (23/12/1953 - 8/1/1959). The open crisis caused by the revolt of the army of Algeria leads, in 1958, to its fall which is confirmed by the adoption of a new constitution on September 28, 1958. Nevertheless, it does not cease definitively until the 8 January 1959 when General de Gaulle was installed as President of the Fifth Republic.
