Bonjour ,

J'arrive trop tard ? le lien est en erreur 404 !!!

Cordialement .

Pour SEMPERFIDELIS impossible d'accéder à la thèse sur les troupes noires en Indochine.....Le lien serait-il faux ?


Je relance ici les recherches concernant mon beau-père Georges Aubin qui a appartenu au 5ème RTS.
Il a dû détruire son livret militaire qui devait lui rappeler trop de mauvais souvenirs, donc, à mon avis, reconstituer son parcours militaire ne devrait pouvoir se faire qu'en contactant les archives militaires de Pau ?
C'est ce que nous allons faire.

Je rajoute une intéressante carte de voeux qu'il avait adressée à sa famille, sans en connaître l'année exacte.
Si quelqu'un l'a connu ou possède des documents photos ou simplement des pistes de recherche, je suis preneur!

Hi,
Good day. In all that I have seen I have never seen a report of the 5th RTS duty Indochina. Two possibilities for me connected to Units with the number Five. The GM5 and the 5th RIC. If you have information on Dates and places, you may be able to eliminate Units that do not match your information, leaving a smaller pool of possible Units to look into. If you wish information on either the GM5 or the 5th RIC, ask & I will send it to you. Hope this information finds you in good health, good luck with your search.
Regards, Dan.

African Infantry de Tirailleurs Sénégalais

The Indochina amendment of 11/11/51 modified a 1928 Law regarding overseas duty so that French conscripts could no longer be dispatched to Territories which were "the theater of active operations" without their consent. Upon the insistence of African politicians in the National Assembly, this same provision was extended to Africans at the same time.
