Description

"In 1861 France tried to make Mexico a part of her empire . . The battle best remembered by the French occurred in 1863. A small detachment of the French Foreign Legion (FFL) was sent to escort a supply train. The force was intercepted by a large force of Mexican cavalry and infantry. The FFL retreated to a walled farm near the village of Camerone. They were surrounded, low on ammunition, and outnumbered 50 - 1 . . . The incredible courage of the Legion at Camerone is remembered every April 30 when the FFL celebrates Camerone Day."
