Under Two Flags tells the story of an English aristocrat, apparently in disgrace, who disappears and joins a French battalion in Algeria, loosely based on the Foreign Legion. The novel is about The Hon. Bertie Cecil (nicknamed Beauty of the Brigades). In financial distress because of his own profligacy and the loss of an important horse-race on which he has bet extensively, and falsely accused of forgery, but unable to defend himself against the charge without injuring the "honour" of a lady and also exposing his younger brother, Cecil fakes his own death and exiles himself to Algeria where he joins the Chasseurs d'Afrique, a regiment comprising soldiers from various countries, rather like the French Foreign Legion.

"Under Two Flags" is a widely acclaimed, especially among military men, Foreign Legion romance which has consistently enthralled readers and cinema audiences. It is regarded as author Ouida's best-known and most imitated work. The Hon. Bertie Cecil would rather spend his days racing his horses. But now for all involved, he must get away from the English set. In order to protect his brother's secret, he enlists in the second regiment of the Chasseurs d'Afrique in Algeria, where he faces years of danger and hardship in the Algerian wilderness. But he soon finds relief in the form of two women who love him: the camp-follower Cigarette and the Princess Venetia.
