dedonta Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Bonjour, I am trying to find photos of A Great War Colonial Livret..specifically looking for differences between the Colonial and the Metropolitan versions. I have been unlucky trying to purchase one. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Marcus J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veteran Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Marcus What exactly do you mean by "colonial". Are you refering to what the French call "la coloniale" which are the Infanterie coloniale and Artillery coloniales regiments, in fact Frenchmen. Or are you thinking of "native" regiments drawn from the French colonies : tirailleurs algeriens, marocains, tunisiens, sénégalais, annamites etc...Or native cavalry regiments : spahis ?

dedonta Posted December 27, 2012 Author Share Posted December 27, 2012 Veteran, Looking for the livrets that would have been issued to Zouaves and Tirailleurs...really want to see what a Livret that was issued IN the colonies looked like. I believe the Zouaves would be issued the same style...the cover stating Troupes Coloniale on it: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
