Senegalese troops fighting for France in Vietnam in 1954. The French used lots of colonial soldiers in Vietnam because the war was so unpopular back in France.[2091 x 1360]
My grandfather took this photo when he was a war correspondent. This was the second time he encountered the Senegalese colonial infantry. The first time was when he accompanied the first wave of Senegalese who liberated Elba in WW2.
