EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Tunisian Cavalry of the late 19th century, a testament to the rich military history of Tunisia during the French colonial era. The image, taken in 1889, depicts a group of Tunisian soldiers, both foot and mounted, proudly displaying their military prowess. The foot soldiers, dressed in their traditional red fez hats and white tunics, are seen standing at attention, their rifles at the ready. Their dark trousers and brown leather boots complete their uniforms, which were modeled after the French military style. In the background, a line of horses and riders can be seen, their mounts adorned with ornate saddles and trappings. The mounted soldiers wear similar tunics to their foot counterparts, but with the addition of blue jackets and red sashes. Their headgear consists of red fez hats, which are secured with a white cord. The Tunisian Cavalry played a significant role in the French colonial army, serving both as a symbol of French military presence and as a valuable asset in maintaining order and security in Tunisia. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating insight into the military culture and traditions of Tunisia during the colonial period. The meticulous attention to detail in the soldiers' uniforms and equipment, as well as the pristine condition of their horses, speaks to the high standards of discipline and training that were expected of the Tunisian military forces. The image also serves as a reminder of the complex and often contentious relationship between France and Tunisia during this period, as the former sought to exert its influence and control over the latter.
