Everything I know, and curiosity of what I do not know, came from Jean Louis Larcade and Didier Lainé.
We all stand on the shoulders of giants. Toujours se rappeler.

Correct!Jean-Louis Larcade was such a nice, sweet man. He bore a heavy load: he lost his young daughter to illness; she was in her early twenties, if I remember correctly. The first one of his books is dedicated to her (p 5).
At the bottom of the page is says: Online catalog on Monday January 9.So does anyone know will it just be the items in the one photo and is there more? Is it his family selling it is 17 years since he passed away.
Sorry I never got to meet him or Didier, but they have helped me many times with their great references.

I didn’t know that book even existed. Is it still available or out of print?
Yes he did, as well as one on the A7V German tank.looks like he also wrote a couple books on Zouaves
