Dear TracA, "Are all of these Tirailleur badges yours? If they are, then you have an amazing collection." Yes, they are, thank you. All the insignias I'm presenting are mine (Djibouti, Chad, Indochina etc...). "I assume that is Arabic on the medal. Do you know what it says?" Yes, it is. Unfortunately, I neither read nor write Arabic, which I deplore. This is what I know, but I cannot confirm if this is what is written on the badges. Sources wikipedia, in French with part help from google translation: - 1st Moroccan Tirailleur Regiment: Le texte en arabe gravé sur le croissant : « Min Moulay Idriss jinna wa rabbi arfoualina », ce qui signifie « De Moulay Idriss nous venons et le Seigneur nous a (re)connus ». The Arabic text engraved on the crescent: “Min Moulay Idriss jinna wa rabbi arfoualina”, which means “From Moulay Idriss we come and the Lord has known/ acknowledged/ recognised us”. - 3rd Moroccan Tirailleur Regiment: « Je Fonce et Je Vaincs» : "I Charge and I Win" - 4th Moroccan Tirailleur Regiment: « En avant avec Joie» : "Forward with Joy" - 5th Moroccan Tirailleur Regiment: «Sans peur et sans pitié» : "Without fear and without pity" - 6th Moroccan Tirailleur Regiment: «Sans peur et sans repos» : "Without fear and without rest" - 9th Moroccan Tirailleur Regiment, I have two: «Que Moulay Idriss nous protège et nous donne la victoire» : "May Moulay Idriss protect us and give us victory" «Sois généreux avec nous, Ô toi Dieu et donne nous la Victoire» : "Be generous with us, O God, and give us Victory."

Dear Gentlemen, The term "tabor" comes from the Turkish "tabur" meaning "battalion" either directly or through the Arabic طابور "ṭābūr" itself derived from Turkish. Created in Indochina on January 1, 1950, the Moroccan Tabor Group in the Far East (GTMEO) was disbanded on January 19,1951 and replaced by the Moroccan Tabor Command in the Far East, which was itself disbanded in November 1954, at the departure of the last Tabors from the theatre. It was in operational command of elements engaged in operations "VINCENT" (January18 to 23 ,1950) and "PARPAING" (May 27 April to 7, 1950) and the clearing of the Dong Khê post (May 25 to 30, 1950). From June 1 to 20,1950, forming the Lumière group, it operated around Dong Khê. Engaged from September 16, 1950 in a new operation to clear Dong Khê, it became the Bayard group on September 17 and participated in the combats of RC 4: operation "TIZNIT" (October 1 and 2, 1950) then operation "THERESE" (October 3 to 8, 1950).
