Labour Party members and Young Socialists handed out leaflots outside the Odeon cinema, Nottingham after the showing of "The Legion's Last Patrol", This film, starring Stewart Granger glorifies ths role of the French Foreign Legion in Algeria and portrays the F.L.N. as a_geang of mrder ors, rapists and degenerates,
Tho leaflets, woll-lacod with quotations from French military men disvlayod the true attitudes and activities of the Foroign Legion, Short accounts were given of atrocities committed against individuals such as Henry Alleg, and a nurso of the Algorian Hed Crescent who was raped with the neck of a bottle by several French soldiers, Accounts are given of the infamous regroupment camps whore two million Algerians were herded together, But perhaps the leaflet got nearest to describing the true nature of French imperialism and exposing the colourful distortions of "The Legions Last Patrol" when it pointed out the stark fact that one million people lost their lives in the war,
