Ollie has fallen in love with the innkeeper's daughter in Paris. The only problem - she's very much in love with her husband. To forget her he joins the Foreign Legion with Stan. Bad idea.

Extra credit for the storyline 👍

Wow! Much better and smarter than what I had in mind.

Great answer for sure, but not what I was thinking. Do we pay that or...and I hate to do this to you...but revisit the last clue.

D-Day, Omaha Beach.

That rifle looks like an M16 to me...

and was also a great Aussie song to boot and that clue will lead you to the answer...you just have to chisel away at it. The song, of course, is incidental to the event.
