Picture of the Day: Ralph Monclar Bike Path
Patriots and Veterans Affairs Minister Park Min-shik attends
an event to officially name a bike path in Yangpyeong County, 52 kilometers east of Seoul, as the “Road of Ralph Monclar” after the nickname of Raoul Charles Magrin-Vernerey, a lieutenant general who led a French battalion in the Korean War, on Oct. 9, 2023, in this photo provided by his ministry.

If you want to read more about General Monclar read my prior Heroes of the Korean War posting about him.
A French general gets a bike path?
Wouldn’t a running path be more fitting?
As in… running… away?
@Chickenhead, to be fair the French Battalion during the Korean War did some very hard fighting in a bid to try and make up some what for the French military’s very poor performance during World War II.
