4th Marching Regiment of the 1st Foreign Regiment

The 4th Marching Regiment of the 1st Foreign Regiment, (French: 4^e régiment de marche du 1^er étranger, 4^eR.M. 1^erR.E), also known as the Garibaldi Legion (French: « Légion Garibaldienne »), was a French Military unit of the Legion which formed the Marching Regiment of the Foreign Legion (R.M.L.E). It existed ephemerally from the end of 1914 to 1915. The 4th Marching Regiment of the 1st Foreign Regiment was composed of Italians; when Italy entered the war, they pursued combat on the Italian front.

After having distinguished themselves at Argonne (Bois de Balante) in December 1914, the regiment was finally dissolved on March 5, 1915, due to Italy's entry in the war and the departure of the majority of the regiment back to their country of origin.
