30th April 1863 - Battle of Camerone, Mexico
Today is the 150th anniversary of the action at Camerone in Mexico.
A company of the Foreign Legion were defending a resupply mission and were attacked by a much larger Mexican force. Only two legionnaires survived. One of the great legends of the FFL that added greatly to their esprit de corps.
