The Guides of the Imperial Guard 1852-1870 « He who has not seen the regiment of the Guides has seen nothing », James de Chambrier could write in 1904. The memory of the Guides is linked to all that is most magnificent in the Second Empire, to that ceremonial splendour of which the reign of Napoleon III provides a last display. It is less through their...

The idea of mounting a machine gun on a car chassis is as old as the automobile itself. In the very beginning, around 1900, the words used to describe this combination were varied: some spoke of a « mitrailleuse automobile », others used the expression « automobile de guerre ». Often these were simply open tourers fitted with machine gun mountings, like...

Named the PCM R, it was selected by the Régie, which ordered 750 units. An innovative model in more ways...

On 19 October, the French Navy commemorates the day of the naval fusiliers. This date corresponds roughly to the start of the Battle of Dixmude, which raged from mid-October (the first skirmishes took place on the 16th) to 10 November 1914. The naval fusiliers brigade distinguished itself during these particularly bloody engagements. They thus became the...

Contrary to what one might think, the history of the 33ème W-SS Charlemagne is not set in stone following the writings of Saint-Loup and Mabire. The epic adventure of the men who were its soldiers forms the substrate of revelations; many points remain unexplained, the most emblematic being the execution of 12 French SS men at Bad Reichenhall on 8 May 1945...

OUT OF STOCK René Gillet is said to have built his very first motorcycle as early as 1895; this claimed seniority as a motorcycle manufacturer would have allowed him to adopt the slogan "doyenne des marques de motocyclettes françaises" — myth or reality? Other single-cylinder models would follow, but it was around 1905, with his first 45° V-twins, that he...
