In 1935, Charles Sarlandie entered the Poitiers Artillery School. A reserve second lieutenant, he was posted to the 105th R.A. (Artillery Regiment) at Bourges and did a training period at the Avord air base to obtain the Air Observer's Certificate.
He was recalled in March 1939 and posted to GAO 512 based at Limoges. There he met René Ségui de Sarlande, an aviator pilot and reserve staff sergeant, who regularly came to do training courses and was known to everyone as "Le petit chef".

After the German attack on 10 May 1940, the GAO 512 Group retreated southwards, finally arriving in Bordeaux, where Charles Sarlandie boarded the Cargo ship "Le Fort de Vaux" for Casablanca in Morocco. It was on board that Charles Sarlandi heard General de Gaulle's appeal, but despite the enthusiasm of the troops on board, the Captain of the ship, a convinced Pétainist, refused to turn away to go to London...
The landing therefore took place in Casablanca as planned, and the GAO 512 Group joined the Casablanca Air Base, where it was re-equipped with Gleen-Martin 167Fs.
Charles SARLANDIE, faced with the uncertainty of the situation in North Africa following the tragic attack on Mers El Kébir by the British, joined his family in Sarrazac, France, at the end of the summer of 1940. In October, he met up again with René SEGUI DE SARLANDE, whom he had met when he was at GAO 512 in Limoges.

Together, they recruited former members of the GAO 512 group, in particular, to feed the Resistance groups that provided intelligence for the Free French.
But René SEGUI DE SARLANDE, hunted down by the Gestapo and the Milice, had to go into hiding, and passed the torch to René Tallet, who took up René SEGUI's nom de guerre: "Violette". He created the "Violette" Battalion, which fought very actively against the occupying forces.
