Correct again. I was merely addressing the question as to whether or not it was a legionnaire who had been killed, and seeing ‘Marine’ in the article was enough to pretty much verify the KIA was not FFL.

Thanks, there always seems to be overlap in duties. I remember Steve McQueen in “The Sand Pebbles” using a 1903 Springfield yet he was a sailor. Of course that is just a movie.

Another area where there is overlap is Army aviation and Naval aviation. First it was just the Army Air Corps, then probably copying the German Luftwaffe, we have the Air Force but still also have Army aviation.

I also remember during WWII Hermann Goering had Luftwaffe special forces troops.
