Guillaume Pinget, commander, Armed Forces of French Polynesia, during the Bazeilles Day Ceremony for Exercise DELAYEN, Tahiti, French Polynesia, Sept. 4, 2025. The celebration of the 155th Bazeilles Day commemorates a pivotal moment for the French Armed Forces during the Franco-Prussian war in 1870 where French marines were outnumbered by their enemy ten-to-one during one of the first recorded instances of urban warfare.
