link is dead, working link is here. Cliché Online (talk) 11:36, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

by the way the article has been created it is named Second French Indochina Campaign. Cliché Online (talk) 11:44, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Japanese invasion

Rename this article as Japanese invasion of French Indochina, because there had been many invasions by other countries, such as 1940 Thai invasion or 1945 Allied invasion after WWII. 75.28.66.154 (talk) 05:25, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Corrections

I fixed a few minor errors, mostly in spelling. I suggest a second pair of eyes give it a look, I probably didn't get everything ~sixhooter500 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.22.195.172 (talk) 01:25, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

Photo inappropriate to subject

In the action discussed here, Japan took over the very north of French Indo-China on 22-26 Sep 1940. The photo caption describes Japanese troops entering Saigon. Saigon, now Ho Chi Minh City, is in the far south which was occupied in a separate action almost a year later, 01 August 1941.

August 1 [1941] . . . Occupation of Saigon by French Indo-China Expeditionary Army.

That's exactly the comment I was going to make. But with the lack of a more appropriate photo, I'm not sure what should be done. Terry Thorgaard (talk) 20:06, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

5th Foreign Infantry Regiment

According to the Wikipedia page for the 5th Foreign Infantry Regiment, the second battalion did put a fight, even if it was a small one, before they surrendered. This page says they did not. I don't know which page is right, the question would be better researched by someone who speaks French, but they can't both be right. AlexFeldman (talk) 12:41, 24 October 2019 (UTC)

@AlexFeldman: According to Pierre Sergent [Sergent, Pierre, Les Maréchaux de la Légion, Fayard, 1977 (in French), pp.152-153], a (far-)right-wing military writer, the battalion fired at Japanese planes and patrols, and several legionaries were killed by Japanese shells and friendly-fire from French artillery.--Le Petit Chat (talk) 21:28, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
