During the [[Great War]], '''Yonderian volunteers''', also known as '''''Volonderres''''', made up a considerable amount of the [[Burgoignesc Foreign Legion]] serving in both combat and non-combat roles on land, air and sea for the entirety of the war. Although the [[Burgoignesc Foreign Legion]] already had a number of regiments of Yonderians even before the [[Great War]], it received a number of major influxes of volunteers, chiefly at the very beginning of the war in 1928 and 1929, after which a steady flow of new volunteers was maintained throughout the war. Although it is hard to determine the exact number of Yonderians who served as volunteers, it is generally estimated to be around 1.5 million, making Yonderre by far the neutral nation to have contributed the most combatants to any warring nation of the [[Great War]]. It is known that at it's height in 1938, the Yonderian contingency of the [[Burgoignesc Foreign Legion]] numbered more than 300.000 men under arms, chiefly in frontline units. | During the [[Great War]], '''Yonderian volunteers''', also known as '''''Volonderres''''', made up a considerable amount of the [[Burgoignesc Foreign Legion]] serving in both combat and non-combat roles on land, air and sea for the entirety of the war.

Yonderian volunteers were a welcome addition to the [[Burgoignesc Foreign Legion]], and Volonderres holding enlisted and non-commissioned officer ranks in the YDF were generally inducted into the Legion at their respective ranks, while volunteer officers would go on to retrain with the Legion and generally go a rank down from their YDF standpoint before joining their units. | ||
