My note about (this) my video project:
The native African forces from France (and other colonial powers) veterans are often forgotten about when WW1 and WW2 is discussed. Millions were conscripted, fought gallantly and fell facing the enemy never to rise.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Originally written in 1914 at the out break of the Great War (WW1) by a Sergeant-Major Bendifallah and companyman Marizot, "Le Chant des Africains" is a testimony to the bravery of a Moroccan goumier regiment disbanded after suffering devastating losses in Meaux, northeast of Paris. The song became popular among the soldiery as well as civilians, but was not set to music until 1918 by Félix Boyer, bandmaster of the Algerian Garrison.
This 1943 version was dedicated to Lt.Col. van Hecke's fr:7e régiment de chasseurs d'Afrique who fought the 1944-45 Italian, French and German Allied military campaigns.
Le Chant des Africains remains today an adopted symbol of identity for the Pied-noir community
