Portugal present Marine Corps (Corpo de Fuzileiros Navais) was created in 1961 but they trace their origins back to 1618, As I said complicated. http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corpo_de_Fuzileiros Yes a horse. A rather elaborate way of saying it. ![]() The funny part is... In 1914 Portugal was neutral, we had no part in the Europe battle ground. But was sort of at war with the Germans in Africa. It was only in 1916 that Portugal entered the war. The other funny part. When Portuguese troops went to France they were equiped with British Enfield rifles and .32 Savage pistols.
