Summary "Corporal Jacques of the Foreign Legion" by H. De Vere Stacpoole is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on the life of Corporal Jacques Radoub, a tough yet witty character who is a member of the notorious French Foreign Legion, exploring themes of camaraderie, survival, and the quest for freedom amidst the harsh desert landscape. Throughout the story, Jacques navigates the complexities of military life, criminal pasts, and personal loyalties, as he becomes particularly attached to his loyal dog, Choc. At the start of the narrative, readers are introduced to Sidi-bel-Abbès, the headquarters of the Foreign Legion, where the life of the légionnaires unfolds. The opening chapters detail Jacques' daily routine, interactions with fellow soldiers, and his playful bond with Choc, a scrappy dog he has taken under his wing. As rumors about Choc facing execution spread, Jacques grapples with the threat to his dog’s life and begins to contemplate an escape from the drudgery of the Legion, prioritizing his connection to Choc over his own imminent freedom. This setup establishes a rich and engaging atmosphere that hints at future adventures and challenges within the backdrop of a tumultuous and unforgiving military life.
