This handout picture released by the French Army Information and Public Relations Service (SIRPA Terre) on March 21, 2018, shows Corporal Bogusz Pochylski of the 2nd Foreign Infantry Regiment, a French legionnaire deployed in Iraq and who died on March 21, 2018 in the Iraqi capital Baghdad following an accidental fall, announced the staff of the armed forces on his Facebook account. Pochylski, born in Poland on March 14, 1987, had been serving in the French Foreign Legion for over four years. His section was conducting a reconnaissance of the site of the Radwanya Palace Complex, the former home of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, with a view to organizing a training session for Iraqi forces when he fell into an elevator shaft and later died from his injuries. Pochylski was part of the Chammal operation in the Levant, which is part of the international coalition fighting against the so called Islamic State (IS), led by the United States. / AFP PHOTO / SIRPA TERRE / Handout
