Hi all. This stunning photograph was a random junk shop find when I was in Budapest last week. I have a habit of grabbing military photos that take my fancy if they are the right price and I didn’t look too closely at this until I got it back to the hotel and realised that it was taken in Vietnam! This was the last thing I was expecting and as the writing on the back is in Hungarian I am guessing this chap was in the Foreign Legion? Would anyone be able to ID the unit insignia on his shoulder board? I assume this was moved up there for the benefit of the photo so he was clearly proud of his unit.

Any comments would be appreciated. Many thanks.
