Goumier

Goumiers were a group of soldiers from Morocco who fought in World War II. They were known for being tough and brave soldiers, and they were hired by the French army to help fight in the war.

The word "goum" means "tent" in Arabic, and the goumiers were known for living in tents while they were fighting in the war.

The goumiers were particularly famous for their skills in fighting in the mountains, and they were often used for reconnaissance and guerrilla warfare. They were also known for their expertise in handling mules, which were used to transport supplies and equipment through the difficult mountain terrain.

Despite their reputation as fierce fighters, the goumiers were also known for their kindness and generosity. They would often share their food and water with the local people they encountered on their missions.

Today, the goumiers are remembered for their bravery and their contribution to the Allied victory in World War II.
