Goumier en d'Indochine

[Legion Etrangere]

If anyone has any pics of Moroc units serving, post them here; I also would like to post them on the BCCP website as well as a testament to the fighting skill of these units.

marsouin,

Just saw the pics of the Goums you posted .... c'magnifique!

I really like the use of the U.S. M1938 dismounted leggings with the khaki shorts!

Regards,

I have a particular interest in the Goum tabors in Indochina. Ive collected some photos detailing their uniforms, as well as finding a small collection of images of the Goumiers actually serving BUT I cannot find details of their TO&E's anywhere. If anybody can fill in the blank spaces here I would be massively indebted to them





















So there we have it. Some good detailing on the uniforms that Goumier were wearing in Indochina. I will post the photos that I have of the Tabors in Indochina another time but one thing does particularly stand out. The Djellaba!  Anyone who is interested in the Goumier are drawn to aesthetic that the djellaba lends to these troops. Ive seen plenty of photos now of Tabors that are in the bush and not wearing their Djellabas... and in these instances could quite easily be passed off as other Colonial troops such as Algerian and/or Moroccan Tirailleurs. Seems a silly thing to point out but I felt it was worth a mention.

Try attaching them as files.
