The Armenian Legion was the first volunteer military unit comprised of all Armenian soldiers that fought in WWI in 1916. The unit was trained and led by French army commanders of the Légion d'Orient (The Eastern Legion). In this video, Collections Curator Gary Lind-Sinanian presents from our Bilezikian Room that serves as a tribute in memory of Beatrice and Krikor Bilezikian and to the Armenian soldiers that have served and reminds us of those that paid the ultimate sacrifice in a time of war.
