There was character in the Army Medical Service in the mid Eighties (ex Marine, Ex RCMP) who had done a runner and joined the Foreign Legion, had been hoofed out with a dishonourable discharge for being an habitual trouble causer and deported to the UK.

At his CM (charges of desertion and fighting for a foreign power I believe) he was found guilty at which point the CM were shown his French discharge papers which so amused them that he got 28 days and soldier on.
