My dad's father was a legionaire. He was reported MIA during the famous battle of Dien Bien Fu (Indochina Independance war). We never knew what happened to him. A few years back, the french television showed some never seen before footage of the war for the anniversary if this infamous battle. My grand mother recognized my grand father laying on a stretcher looking badly hurt. She was in shock. She got the footage and upon closer inspection, we realized that it was in fact him. She tried to get answers from the french military but his file is classified.
