Het 2e
Regiment Etranger de Parachutiste werd opgericht op 1 December 1955 en nam de
tradite over van het 2e BEP.
Het regiment werd gevormd door het fusie van het 2e BEP en het 3e
REP.

Herrera Gimenez, Maurice, 2e classe, who died on 18-12-1956 at EL MEZERAA
A list of the members of
the 2e REP who died during the Algerian war could already be found on internet.
Although it provided a good basis, it turned out that this list contained a
significant amount of smaller and larges errors
in both spelling of names and places as well as in the indicated dates.
I reviewed the list using various sources of which the French Website Memoires
des Hommes was the main one.
