NAME IS NOT IN DICTIONARY “Legionnaire” Not Yet in Official Guide —Promises to Hold for All Time to Come. The American Legion Weekly comments on a New Zealand Newspaper’s use of the word “legionary" to denote a member of the American Legion. “The word ‘legionary’ has an Honored place In the dictionary which ‘legionnaire’ has not as yet, the Weekly points out. “But all the sentiment, and it is a case where sentiment counts, is on the side of ‘legionnaire.’ ‘Legionary’ connotes an embattled Roman. toting a shield and spear for Julius Caesar. ‘Legionnaire' calls to mind (from the French point of view) a regiment of foreigners of the French Foreign Legion. “ ‘Legionnaire’ as indicating a member of the American Legion, seems too firmly established to dislodge. We must remember that all Legions—Roman, Foreign and American —had one thing in common: They fought in France."
