Your Government demanded their return (only 7,000 agreed to stay in England and form a Free French Army under de Gaulle). We duly returned them - many of whom went into captivity.

One of the earliest allusions to martial music appeared in a dance treatise by Thoinot Arbeau (1588). In 17th-century France, the military band of Louis XIV played marches, and France literally set the pace for march music all over Europe well into the 19th century.
