Here is an original work that will delight all those who had the honour of wearing the badge of the Dragons de l'Impératrice. This fine book also attests to the unwavering attachment of its members to this exceptional unit. Alain Aittouarès developed a passion for heraldry and for the history of "his" regiment. In this magnificent collector's volume, he presents the illustrated fruit of his patient research, placing each of the 250 models in the context of its era, while also taking the reader on a journey through time across the history of the 13th! The result is unique of its kind — an expression of love for work well done, embodying in its own way the fine motto of the Dragons de l'Impératrice: "Au-delà du possible".

During the Algerian War, the paratroopers were at the forefront of the fighting. They faced the most hardened moudjahidines in the most remote djebels. Yet, nearly six decades later, does anyone still remember that some of these elite units had conscripts making up the majority of their ranks? Such was the case of the 14th Régiment de chasseurs...

6 June 1944 is etched in collective memory as a landmark date, a turning point of the Second World War.
