HistoryCo-founded in Djibouti by Alsatian First World War veteran Captain Edouard Dieffenbach as deputy commander, first set up as the Free French Camel Plutoon ({{lang-fr|Peloton de méhariste français libres}}), the unit was later renamed Free French Camel Corps ({{lang-fr|Corps de méharistes français libres}}). It was active from September 1941 to February 1942, with initial strength estimated to about 15-20 camels along with riders. Among the troops, apart from Edouard Dieffenbach, was Lieutenant Magendie, Adjutant Emile Cayre, Sergents Battaglini, Sergeant Carbuccia (a Corsican who killed in action for France in the Italian Campaign), Corporal Farner, physician, Commander Griveau and about 14 other compatriots. The unit stationed in areas equivalent to today's Somalia, Ethiopia and Eritrea, then under occupation. The unit notably fought alongside the British Somaliland Camel Corps and saw action in East Africa and North Africa.[1][2][3] Further reading
