The Flag Dude has some French Colonial flags, but he also does custom made flags if you have a specific unit you'd like produced.
They call me "Point Cow"

The Legion generally carried their Emblem:  diagonally half green, half red with a gold grenade and flames.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Foreign_Legion has a good image of it; just click on the image for a larger version.

They flew the french flag with Legion battle honours.
"The enemy? His sense of duty was no less than yours, I deem. You wonder what his name is, where he came from. And if he was really evil at heart. What lies or threats led him on this long march from home. If he would not rather have stayed there ... in peace. War will make corpses of us all."
