thanks
Sorry am occasional lurker these days. I have found a listing of the all Para Bns principal engagements. I will re-read note the places mention and see if they match any unit.
Interesting book although the translator wasn't versed in French Military terminology (hardly surprising).
Still once mis-translations are spotted a lot of the info ties in with another unit history I have (3e BCCP)- uniform, equipment and organisation I mean. Pirey or translator has contradictions regarding sub-unit titles. So there is a certain guesswork in internal structure.
