French Foreign Legion in Attack, Rif War
The last years of the 19th century and the first of the 20th saw the French attempting to consolidate their possession of Algeria, quelling disturbances and gradually pushing further south into the Sahara. With numerous clashes big and small, the Foreign Legion found plenty of work patrolling and policing this enormous and unwelcoming landscape; work that was often frustrated by rebels fleeing into neighbouring Morocco when they approached. In 1907 French forces moved into Morocco, and the Legion had a new arena for their activities, but the story was much the same--very long periods of marching in harsh conditions with minimal resources, only occasionally punctuated by local battles that were often against very superior numbers and did not always end well for them, though many courageous acts were added to the legend of the Legion in those years.
