George Washington hands him a commission and a job nobody else wants: build a fighting unit out of foreigners, drifters, and prisoners of war. He does. They follow him all the way to Yorktown.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis name is Charles Armand Tuffin, Marquis de la Rouerie. In America he goes simply by Colonel Armand. His legion, formed June 25, 1778, is one of the strangest units in the entire Continental Army: a multinational corps of French volunteers, German recruits, Polish cavalrymen, and even captured Hessian soldiers who switched sides. Cavalry and infantry both. Partisans. Skirmishers. The men Washington sent where regular regiments could not go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey fought at Brandywine, Monmouth, and the disaster at Camden, where the legion was nearly destroyed covering the American collapse. When the Polish hero Casimir Pulaski was killed, the survivors of Pulaski's Legion were folded into Armand's command. By 1781 the unit was reorganized as the 1st Partisan Corps, the tip of the spear for irregular operations in the Southern campaign.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArmand left for France mid-war to beg his own government for money and supplies for his men, paying out of his personal fortune when Congress would not. He came back. He met his legion at Yorktown. And on the night of October 14, 1781, the Continental Legionnaires were in the lines for the bayonet assault on Redoubt 10, the final stroke that ended the war. Congress made him a Brigadier General. He went home to France, got swept into a second revolution, and died a wanted man in 1793.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Continental Army was never just farmers from Massachusetts. It was a coalition. Armand's Legion is the proof, the unit that fought under an American flag in a half-dozen accents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout this design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Armand's Legion design features a distressed vintage crest with an American eagle in a Continental-era light dragoon helmet, crossed flintlock muskets, and a banner reading \u003cem\u003eContinental Legionnaires\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tacticallyacquired.com\/collections\/america-250\" title=\"America 250 Collection\"\u003ePart of our America 250 Revolutionary War collection commemorating the foreign volunteers who fought for American independence from 1778 through the final assault at Yorktown.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAmerica 250, made by veterans\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Armand's Legion shirt is part of our America 250 collection commemorating 250 years of military service from 1775 to 2026.
