France French colonial Officer Morel and general hints on French Colonial Army

[Einbauschrank]

Hello board,

I am looking for more details on a "Commandant" or "chef de bataillon" Morel, who served in the Ivory Coast until September 1910 when he had to be repatriated due to illness. If you could point me towards a good compendium of the structure of the French Colonial Army in Africa covering the decades before WW1 I wpuld also be grateful. I speak French, English or German, so any books or links in these languages would help me out of my not so blissful ignorance. I've already read the "Histoire Militaire de la Cote d'ivoire".

Thanks!
