Fascinating part of history, hope somebody can add detail to the WWI and WWII sections.-- 68.51.72.144 ( talk) 15:53, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
A paragraph has been added from a BBC article [1], however:
There was a parade after the liberation of Paris and th exclusion of African soldiers is the frequent complaint. After all, they were purposely excluded from that show. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:192:8600:1DF0:BC56:70D5:4BF3:EC0A ( talk) 02:02, 8 January 2020 (UTC) Not much to salvage, so I reverted. Equendil Talk 04:28, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
′The usual practice was to bring together battalions of white Colonial Infantry ("les marsouins") and African Tirailleurs into mixed regiments de marche.'
This certainly occurred at Gallipoli, but is there evidence that this was usual practice and not just a one-off? What is the source of this statement? Keith H99 ( talk) 16:00, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
