For 170 years, the 16th Battalion of Foot Soldiers (16th BCP) has been answering the call of duty. On the battlefields of both world wars, during decolonisation and on foreign missions, this elite unit has forged its identity as foot soldiers, proud of its past and determined to look to the future. In the heart of the Pays de Bitche or on missions at home and abroad, the 16th BCP continues to prove every day that it is a worthy heir to its predecessors from Ramscapelle and Tannay. This book traces the 150-year history of this unit and the men and women who have served and currently serve in it.
