Prince Aage could have lived a remarkably quiet, rich and privileged life as a hereditary prince to the throne of Denmark; however, none of these responsibilities seemed to sit well with the Prince. His thirst for action and danger were only sated by military and amorous adventures; his memoirs are concerned only with his service in the French Foreign Legion in the deserts of Morocco, where there were pitifully few opportunities for female companions.
Prince Aage joined the elite Foreign legion in 1922 having already fought in the First World War as an artillery observer. His taste for adventure seems to be his prime motivator. At this time in the history of Morocco was a French protectorate, and was undergoing a rebellion of the Berbers and tribes of the Rif mountains. As always, the Legion was at the forefront of the fighting, including the author who amongst his numerous engagements would receive a Croix de Guerre for a leg wound sustained in the fighting.
An interesting autobiography from the French Foreign Legion.
