“ The status to-day of the men who volunteered two and a half years ago is of some interest. On the French front 126, in the hospitals 31, aeroplane pilots 6, in Saloniki 26, in Morocco 75 with the first regiment and 77 with the second regiment of the Foreign Legion, interpreters with the French army 26, total 370. In addition to that 11 of the original volunteers were sent to munition factories.
The Czech volunteers form a very small fraction of the great French army, but what counts is that they make up fully forty percent of the Bohemian immigrants in France. ”
