Algiersche tirailleurs, uitgelezen troepen, vooral door de DuItschers gevreesd om hunne vreeselijke bajonet aanvallen 1914 - 1915

"Algiersche tirailleurs, uitgelezen troepen, vooral door de Duitschers gevreesd om hunne vreeselijke bajonet aanvallen," created by the artist Sémaphore between 1914 and 1915, depicts a group of Algerian soldiers wading through a river in a military formation. The soldiers are armed with rifles and bayonets, and are shown in mid-stride, moving forward in a determined manner. The photograph captures the raw power and ferocity of the Algerian soldiers, and their reputation as fierce fighters. This piece offers a glimpse into the realities of warfare during World War I and the use of colonial troops.
