21ème The French Napoleonic Infantry         

We see the recreated 21eme as a superb example of an ancient unit recreated by contemporary Europeans who have achieved the link between it's illustrious past and the contemporary present. This will continue because the present is our past in making and so the saga of this famous corps continues, because a regiment of a nation is like a rock in the turbulent sea. It provides the ralling point for the future generations in unstable times.

I shall be happy if only this is said of us after we have gone"Yes they have formed the bridge between the past and the present,and have like the old scottish clans, gathered that family of 21eme together, thus spanning the centuries in a common cause of rememberance.
