Casablanca, probably 4 September 1907: the funeral of Maj Provost, CO of VI/ 1st RE, one of eight men killed the previous day at Tahaddert. For the ceremony the soldiers wear belts stripped to the bayonet only over their sashes and greatcoats; they carry palm branches, and wreaths and crosses woven with the wildflowers that covered the Chaouia plain.
Between the Casablanca landings and the outbreak of the Great War in August 1914, the Legion in Morocco would lose 325 all ranks killed in action.
This virtual wiping out of a 100-strong Legion unit caused uproar in Paris, and in October 1903, at the urging of Governor-General Jonnart, command of Ain Sefra Subdivision passed to the newly promoted BrigGen Lyautey.
