Translation of marche edit
"Marching" is the wrong translation of "de marche". "Marche" in this sense is better translated as provisional. 79.186.55.220 (talk) 11:13, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
- However, the primary historian of the Legion in English, Martin Windrow, translates marche as "marching". Kges1901 (talk) 11:40, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
Capitalization of military ranks edit
If it is the title of someone is Captain John Doesn't in a first reference where the full name is spelled it, the rank is a title and calialtalized. If the use is Les specific (22 corporals died, for example) then it is not. Elinruby (talk) 08:49, 30 May 2018 (UTC) Elinruby (talk) 08:49, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
Confusing and repetitive article edit
At no point does this article explain what a marching regiment is, but multiple times it explains the creation of them/it from other units (repetition). The title of the article suggests that there is just one Marching Regiment, but the article refers to multiple. The article suggests that a regiment is composed of other regiments. Is this how the French army is really organised? Or are Marching Regiments really Battalions? Or is the larger organisation really a corp or division? Did different units speak different languages (with perhaps all officers speaking French)? FreeFlow99 (talk) 10:48, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
