Historical Background:
On the 14th of June,the 1st Colonial Division had to defend the area between Saint Dizier and Bar-le-Duc against the panzers of Von Runstedt Army Group. On the 15th of June, just arrived on the positions, the Colonial troops were attacked by German tanks. At that time , it was the hour of glory for the gunners of the 1st Colonial Artillery Regiment who fired directly to the tanks and destroyed a lot of them.
