Military Units And Formations Established In 1848

It is typically authorized and maintained by a sovereign state, with its members identifiable by their distinct military uniform. It may consist of one or more military branches such as an army, navy, air force, space force, marines, or coast guard. The main task of the military is usually defined as defence of the state and its interests against external armed threats. In broad usage, the terms ''armed forces'' and ''military'' are often treated as synonymous, although in technical usage a distinction is sometimes made in which a country's armed forces may include both its military and other paramilitary forces. There are various forms of irregular military forces, not belonging to a recognized state; though they share many attributes with regular military forces, they are less often referred to as simply ''military''.

La Madelon
''La Madelon'' or ''Quand Madelon'', also known in English as ''Madelon (I'll Be True to the Whole Regiment)'' is a French popular song of World War I. Although it is mostly known as ''La Madelon'' the proper title is ''Quand Madelon'' which are the beginning words of the refrain. The lyrics are by Louis Bousquet (1914) and the music by Camille Robert. The song tells a story about soldiers flirting with a lovely young waitress in a country tavern and may partly owe its long term popularity to the fact that the lyrics were clean at a time when soldiers' songs were mostly bawdy and rude. It was one of the most popular songs in France during World War I and became a patriotic song as the war wore on. It remains a patriotic, well-known song in France to this day. It also became popular among Spanish soldiers.Archived aGhostarchiveand thWayback Machine It was revived in World War II and Marlene Dietrich sang it in Paris in 1939 during the celebration of the national day of 14 Ju ...
