The first rule of the French Foreign Legion is you do not talk about the French Foreign Legion!
Respect.

I just realized I don't know anything about WWI.

SD, wow, so edgy... :p
The Wikipedia article mentioned that he joined the Italian army, while the Times notes that he at first refused to give up the French uniform and was more or less forced to join on the Italian side...
By the time of the Second World War he had taken French citizenship, but was deemed to old to join in active duty. He did however join the Resistance after the Germans invaded France. My hat is off to the guy!
110 years, it really does boggle the mind, no? The changes the man has seen! I hope he finds peace.
