Summary "A Soldier of the Legion" by George Manington is a novel written in the early 20th century. This work recounts the adventures of an Englishman who joins the French Foreign Legion and serves in Algeria and Tonquin, showcasing the challenges and experiences of soldiers in exotic and perilous locations. At the start of the narrative, the protagonist feels compelled to enlist in the French Foreign Legion after being inspired by a sergeant's thrilling stories of combat in Tonquin. He traverses through the recruiting process in Paris and soon finds himself amidst a diverse group of fellow recruits, each with their own reasons for joining. The opening establishes his determination and curiosity while also offering a glimpse into the camaraderie and chaos of military life as the recruits prepare for their new roles under the French flag. The author paints a vivid picture of the uncertainty and excitement faced by those who seek adventure in foreign lands, setting the stage for the challenges to come.
