By Al Maurer on June 17, 2007

Askari brings these famous soldiers to the table top.

Chasseurs Alpins!

In 1912, General Lyautey, Resident General in Morocco, was faced with a rebellion of the Berbers of the Atlas Mountains. He demanded the Chasseurs Alpins to deal with the mountainous tribes: the 7th and 14th Batalions des Chasseurs Alpins (BCA), along with their mountain artillery and pioneers were sent in the fall of 1912. The 7th served in the North and the 14th in the South, participating in numerous engagements; the 14th particularly distinguished itself at Dar-el-Kadi.

Chassuers Alpins in Morocco 1912

En 1912, le Général Lyautey réprime au Maroc urne importante rébellion menée par les guerriers berbères. Ces redoutables montagnards, une fois leurs coups de main exécutés, se retirent dans les montagnes de l’Atlas où ils sont indélogeables pour toutes les unités de l’Armée d’Afrique lancées à leur poursuite. Lyautey demande des Alpins et ce sont les 7e et 14e B.C.A. qui sont désignés pour le Maroc et partent à l’automne 1912 en formant chacun un groupe alpin, c’est-à-dire avec leurs artilleurs et leurs pionniers. Au Nord, le 7e et au Sud le 14e, parfaitement organisés pour ce genre de combat, vont participer à de multiples engagements souvent meurtriers : le 14e se distinguera particulièrement à Dar-el-Kadi.
