Alan Seeger was a volunteer in the French Foreign Legion who was killed in 1916 shortly after writing his famous poem "I Have a Rendezvous With Death.
Among the most familiar are Homer, Emily Dickinson, Walt Whitman, Langston Hughes, and Alan Seeger, who at age 28 wrote "I Have a Rendezvous With Death," moments before he fell in a fatal flurry of machine-gun fire.
Other unlikely Legionnaires include American poet Alan Seeger (1914-16), 1909 Tour de France winner Francois Faber (1915) and Hungarian-born writer and philosopher Arthur Koestler (1940).
