He is remembered best for Beau Geste, a much-filmed book of 1924, involving the French Foreign Legion in North Africa. This was one of 33 novels and short story collections that he wrote, mostly dealing with colonial soldiering in Africa. While his fictional accounts of life in the pre-1914 Foreign Legion are highly romanticized, his details of Legion uniforms, training, equipment and barrack room layout are generally accurate, which has led to unproven suggestions that Wren himself served with the legion.

Download or read book The Foreign Legion Novels Part a written by Percival Christopher Wren and published by . This book was released on 2017-07-31 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Foreign Legion Novels Part A contains The Wages of Virtue (1916), Wren's first novel of the French Foreign Legion, and Sowing Glory (1931), a novel supposedly only edited, not written, by Wren. The Wages of Virtue is the story of Sir Montague Merline in the French Foreign Legion. Merline (known as John Bull) joined the Legion after recovering from his apparent death in combat while serving in Africa. Upon regaining his memory several years later, he was told that his wife had married again. In an act of selfless denial, he joined the Legion to keep his identity a secret. The second novel, Sowing Glory, tells the story of a woman who joined the Legion. If it were not for the fantastic ploy of a woman being in the Legion, this book would be one of Wren's most accurate descriptions of the Legion. Both the romance and the reality of the Foreign Legion are described in these novels by the man who popularized the French Foreign Legion. As John Bull states to a recruit: "But we are the cheapest labourers, the finest soldiers, the most dangerous, reckless devils ever gathered together. . . . You're a ha'penny hero now, my boy, and a ha'penny day-labourer, and you're not expected to wear out in less than five years-unless you're killed by the enemy, disease, or the Non-coms."
