No One,

 

I assume that is Arabic on the medal. Do you know what it says?

 

Are all of these Tirailleur badges yours? If they are, then you have an amazing collection.

 

All the best,

 

Tracy

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”.

Yours sincerely,
