Senegalese Tirailleurs
The Senegalese Tirailleurs ((フランス語:Tirailleurs Sénégalais)) were a corps of colonial infantry in the French Army. They were initially recruited from Senegal,
French West Africa and subsequently throughout Western, Central and Eastern Africa: the main sub-Saharan regions of the French colonial empire.〔Cf. Éric Deroo and Antoine Champeaux, ''La Force noire. Gloire et infortunes d'une légende coloniale'', Paris, Tallandier, 2006, 223 p. ISBN 2-84734-339-3.〕 The noun tirailleur, which translates variously as "skirmisher", "rifleman" or "sharpshooter", was a designation given by the French Army to indigenous infantry recruited in the various colonies and overseas possessions of the French Empire during the 19th and 20th centuries.
Despite recruitment not being limited to Senegal, these infantry units took on the adjective "sénégalais" since that was where the first black African Tirailleur regiment had been formed. The first ''Senegalese Tirailleurs'' were formed in 1857 and served France in a number of wars, including World War I (providing around 200,000 troops, more than 135,000 of whom fought in Europe and 30,000 of whom were killed〔 Marc Michel, "Les Africains et la Grande Guerre. L'appel à l'Afrique (1914-1918)", Ed : Karthala, 24 October 2003〕) and World War II. Other tirailleur regiments were raised in French North Africa from the Arab and Berber populations of Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco,〔Marc Michel,〕 collectively they were called ''tirailleurs nord-africains'' or ''Turcos''. Tirailleur regiments were also raised in Indochina, they were called Vietnamese, Tonkinese or Annamites Tirailleurs.
