Although many peoples first thought of Indochina generally revolves around the Foreign Legion contingents, possibly the finest troops deployed were the Army para regiments.
For many (myself included) the classic image of the later years of the conflict are these troops and their Vietnamese bretheren.
I am cheating a little with the 47/53 jacket as the defining image is of course the 47/52.
