The International Legion was created in Italy by Giuseppe Garibaldi, on October 5, 1860 – in the immediate aftermath of the Battle of Volturnus, where the forces of the Bourbon Kingdom of the Two Sicilies were decisively broken. It had been the last main military engagement of the Expedition of the Thousand; however, at the time Garibaldi seriously considered going on to northwards to Rome, in order to put an end to the Pope's temporal power. The International Legion was evidently to take part in this campaign, from which Garibaldi was later reluctantly dissuaded by King Victor Emmanuel II.

  • The International Legion was created in Italy by Giuseppe Garibaldi, on October 5, 1860 – in the immediate aftermath of the Battle of Volturnus, where the forces of the Bourbon Kingdom of the Two Sicilies were decisively broken. It had been the last main military engagement of the Expedition of the Thousand; however, at the time Garibaldi seriously considered going on to northwards to Rome, in order to put an end to the Pope's temporal power. The International Legion was evidently to take part in this campaign, from which Garibaldi was later reluctantly dissuaded by King Victor Emmanuel II. The International Legion brought together different national divisions of French, Poles, Swiss, German and other nationalities, with a view not just of finishing the liberation of Italy, but also of their homelands. Ludwik Mieroslawski was made head of the organization. During Garibaldi's campaign in Sicily in 1860, he received reinforcements consisting of about 2,500 men. The largest contingent consisted of 500 Hungarians under the leadership of Colonel István Türr with Adolf Mogyórody, Nándor Éber and Gusztáv Frigyesy. The British Legion was a British contingent, including John Peard, Hugh Forbes, and Colonel John Dunne. Frenchmen included Lieutenant Paul de Flotte, Jean Philippe Bordone, Gustave Paul Cluseret, Maxime du Camp and Alexandre Dumas, père. (en)
  • La Légion internationale est créée en Italie par Giuseppe Garibaldi, le 5 octobre 1860 au lendemain de la bataille du Volturno après que les forces des Bourbon du Royaume des Deux-Siciles sont vaincues définitivement. La bataille est le dernier engagement militaire de l'expédition des Mille et Garibaldi envisage de se rendre à Rome, afin de mettre fin au pouvoir temporel du pape. La Légion internationale doit évidemment prendre part à cette campagne à laquelle Garibaldi renonce à contre-cœur, dissuadé par le roi Victor-Emmanuel II de Savoie. La Légion internationale rassemble des divisions de différentes nationalités, Français, Polonais, Suisses, Allemands et autres, en vue non seulement d'achever la libération de l'Italie, mais aussi celle leur patrie. Ludwik Mierosławski est nommé à la tête de l'organisation. Pendant la campagne de Garibaldi en Sicile en 1860, il avait déjà reçu des renforts d'environ 2 500 hommes. Le plus gros du contingent se composait de 500 Hongrois, sous la direction du colonel István Türr avec Adolf Mogyórody, Nándor Éber et Gusztáv Frigyesy. Il y avait un contingent britannique, qui comprenait John Whitehead Peard, Hugh Forbes et le colonel John Dunne. Parmi les français, on trouvait le lieutenant Paul de Flotte, , Gustave Paul Cluseret, Maxime du Camp et Alexandre Dumas, père. (fr)
