Accroches-toi a ton reve
Accroches-toi a ton reve
Quand tu vois ton bateau partir
Quand tu sents — ton coeur se briser

Singing the Little Sparrows song at the dissolution was a Gallic shrug and a “FU anyway”.

Faulkes and Bob Denard were very much involved in Katanga, backed by the French Secret Service/s- sometimes competing against each other's goals- not so much in Biafra where the German Rolf Steiner and Welshman Taffy Williams had pretty well replaced the *officially/secretly backed* mercs from France and Belgium. The Biafrans had bloody little with which to pay mercs or buy arms anyway; the Nigerians had oil revenue.
