Image On 8 July 1962, French President Charles de Gaulle and Chancellor Adenauer, on an official visit to France, observe a march-past of French and German troops at Mourmelon military camp. At 9.30 a.m., the two leaders arrive in Mourmelon in a car decorated with French and German colours to see a guard of honour formed by paratroopers, accompanied by the strains of the Marche consulaire. Some 1 500 French soldiers, 1 000 German soldiers and armoured vehicles from the two countries then parade past French President de Gaulle, in field uniform, and West German Chancellor Adenauer.
