This Les Tirailleurs Sénégalais French reading activity will teach your students about a group of soldiers who fought for France, only to go unrecognized.

Units of African soldiers fought in both World Wars, helping France achieve victory – but most Americans have never heard of these brave men.

Learn about their history, their actions, and what happened to them after the wars in this reading for intermediate and advanced French learners.

Written in the passé composé and imparfait.

Includes a version with French questions, a version with English questions and answer key.
