Monument de la Légion Etrangère, Military memorial in Bonifacio, France.

The Monument de la Légion étrangère is a three-tier bronze and stone memorial. A bronze lion lies with its front paws extended on a rough bronze plinth; above it rises a stepped pedestal of light gray stone blocks. Atop the pedestal stands a bronze soldier in uniform and helmet, holding a sword pointing downward in his right hand and a draped flag on a pole in his left. Below his feet rest a bronze cannon and a crumpled flag.

The monument was erected in Saïda, in French Algeria, to commemorate Foreign Legion soldiers who died in the south Oranais between 1872 and 1902; it was tied to the 2nd Foreign Infantry Regiment (2e REI). When Algeria became independent, the Legion left and carried the monument with it, re-erecting it in Bonifacio, Corsica.

The monument belonged to the 2nd Foreign Infantry Regiment (2e REI), which was garrisoned at Saïda in French Algeria. The bronze soldier wears the Legion uniform and helmet, with a draped flag on its pole beside him; the lion at the base and the cannon below his feet are details visitors can pick out.

The monument stands outdoors in Bonifacio, southern Corsica, and can be viewed at any time of day. It is a three-tier bronze and light gray stone structure: a lion on a rough plinth, a stepped square pedestal, and a soldier above a cannon and crumpled flag. Approach on foot to see the lower lion and the soldier's downward sword.

The bronze soldier holds a sword pointing downward and a draped flag, while a lion lies at the base and a cannon rests at his feet. The monument was moved from Saïda, Algeria, to Bonifacio after Algerian independence, when the Foreign Legion left and carried it along.
