"Shoocher: A Glimpse into the Lives of Tirailleurs in French Colonial History" Step back in time to the early 20th century, when Morocco was under French occupation. In 1907, Oujda witnessed a significant event at the Bab Sidi El Houari gate, where brave Tirailleurs stood guard, defending their colonial masters' interests. During World War I, a Senegalese gunner serving in the French army became an emblematic figure. His portrait featured prominently in "readings pour tous, " a newspaper from September 1, 1915. This image captured the strength and resilience of these African soldiers fighting alongside their European counterparts. The Red Cross played a vital role during this era as well. Nurses dedicatedly cared for wounded Tirailleurs, showcasing compassion amidst conflict. Lucien Laforge's drawing depicted this touching scene in his work "ABC. . XYZ, " published around 1910. From campaigns in Sahara between 1882-1902 emerged captivating images that shed light on Algerian tirailleurs (turcos). One such picture showcased them walking through In-Salah during France's Saharan conquest—an exploration into uncharted territories. The conquests did not end there; Algeria itself faced upheaval during its colonization period. An illustration from June 1836 revealed General Bugeaud leading his troops—a bivouac of zouaves—in quelling Abd el-Kader's revolt—a pivotal moment etched into history forever. In times of international crises like the Fachoda Crisis, Captain Jean Baptiste Marchand and his loyal Senegalese Tirailleurs marched towards Sudan to establish it as a French protectorate—an audacious move that shaped geopolitical dynamics. World War I brought forth countless episodes of valor and sacrifice—none more iconic than the Battle of Marne in September 1914.
