1951rif. 184909Nha Trang: c. 1951. Honneur et Fidélité" - showing the legion throughout Vietnam A snapshot of life in the French Foreign Legion during the First Indochina War. The album shows the regiment on parade aerial shots of gun emplacements and the Col de Nuages Hai Van Pass which would see a fatal derailment in 1953. One of the photographs shows future prime minister Tran Van Huu inspecting troops alongside a legion officer. This album contains many photographs of south Vietnam including Nha Trang Ai Nghia Hoa My Dong Phu and Quang Nam. Some the prints are tourist photographs of local people or official studio photography of military parades but the majority are more candid shots of soldiers and gun emplacements which seem to have been taken by the legionnaire. The opening leaves focus on the French Foreign Legion's Camerone Day celebrations on 30 April 1951 showing the regiment parading its colours and with the popular Pionniers unit in full dress. A number of the senior officers are identified on the reverse of the prints. "The 1st Battalion under Major Le Toulec left Africa and landed in Indochina in early 1949. It was stationed in Annam present-day Central Vietnam south of Tourene now Da Nang. This city was about 300 miles 500 km north of Nha Trang the 2e REI HQ. The legionnaires were mainly tasked with maintaining order in the sector as well as patrolling the main routes and keeping them safe and passable" French Foreign Legion Information.

1950rif. 178692Jordan Middle East and United States: 1950s. The twilight years of the Arab Legion A visual record of a highly decorated senior officer's time in the Arab Legion in the years before the dismissal of Glubb Pasha. Accompanying this album is his keffiyeh complete with a metal badge with the legion's insignia. Peter Young 1915-1988 was posted to GHQ Middle East Land Forces in November 1951 having served with the British Commandos during the Second World War during which he was awarded the DSO the MC and two bars. In 1953 he was selected to replace Lieutenant-Colonel James Watson as commander of the Arab Legion's 9th Infantry Regiment raised in 1950. He led the regiment for three years was awarded the Jordanian Order of Al Istiqla in 1954 and published Bedouin Command a memoir of his service in 1956. The centrepiece is a selection of photographs documenting the duties and composition of the regiment. In 1956 it was involved in providing security arrangements for the state opening of parliament and the visit of the Turkish president to Amman. Operating out of headquarters at a police station Young directed troops sent to safeguard Parliament House and the Turkish embassy from demonstrators. Images show Parliament House the king's bodyguard and veteran Circassians as well as a smiling Sir Patrick Coghill the legion's director-general of intelligence and Abdul Rahman Sahen Iraq's bedouin head of security. Among the regiment's other responsibilities was protecting the Hejaz Railway and one photograph shows soldiers on guard by an imposing locomotive. The album also presents over a dozen portrait photographs of regimental officers and staff among them Lieutenant Hammad Faleh the oldest officer in the 9th and Young's long-serving interpreter Ahmed Qasim. Away from the burdens of command Young pursued his passion for the theatre later in life he founded Britain's largest historical re-enactment society and sight-seeing. In April 1955 he took charge of a harlequinade put on by the expatriate theatre troop the Zerqua Follies in which both and his wife Joan née Duckworth 1916-1991 performed. Mounted into the album is a copy of the playbill and three dozen photographs of the rehearsals the Youngs in full costume. There is time to sight-see in Jerash the forum Jerusalem and Jericho and in March 1955 he visits Ajloun Castle in Jordan. Photographs taken by him and associates also show the West Bank and the town of Arraba. Joan Young joins him for shooting practice in the desert and on long drives he has for company his faithful Alsatian Tigla whom he inherited from the regiment's former commander. Where a car is not available he rides in Lawrence of Arabia fashion through the desert his party cloaked against the sun and wind. Glubb Pasha's dismissal in March 1956 brought an end to Young's command but life after the Middle East was anything but uneventful. Accompanying the Arab Legion material is a selection of press images from autumn 1956 when Young travelled with a delegation of British officers to Quantico Virginia to train at the Marine Corps School. Included is a large photograph of the school's commander Lieutenant-General Merrill Barber Twining United States Marine Corps inscribed by Twining to Young and dated 18 October 1956 and another shows the two men in conversation. Retiring in 1959 at the honorary rank of brigadier Young became a respected military historian heading the department of military history at Sandhurst for a decade and writing books on military history and wargaming. His medals are held by the National Army Museum.
