Senegalese Soldier A tirailleur (literally, “skirmisher”) from French West Africa who fought in Europe during the Great War. Across the bottom of this postcard image from the era, the soldier proclaimed his loyalty with the phrase “Glory to the Greater France,” meaning France and its colonies. Note the two German pickelhaube (spike helmets) he wears on his head. (Private Collection/Archives Charmet/The Bridgeman Art Library)
