Historical Background:
Stationed near Stenay in the early May 1940 as a reserve force of the 2nd Army, the 1st Colonial Division (1 DIC) was ordered, in the evening of the 13th of May, to counter-attack the German infiltration in the area South-East of Sedan. The march to the front was under the air bombing of the "Stukas" and in the "fog of war" due to the German breakthrough on the Meuse river. On the 15th of May, the 3rd Colonial Regiment (3 RIC) made its counter-attack towards the villages of Pourron and Mouzon. In the same time, the German "GrossDeutschland" Regiment attacked with the support of tanks the positions of the 12th Zouaves on the right flank of the Colonial Division. Although their objectives were reached, the colonial soldiers had to withdraw because of the German advance on their right flank threatened the HQ of the 12th Zouaves at the Harnoterie farm. This was the first battle of the 1st Colonial Division.
