A paragraph has been added from a BBC article
[1], however:
The BBC claims 17,000 senegalese tirailleurs "lay dead by the time France fell in June 1940", not for the whole of WWII, not for the free french forces, the BBC is anyway, incorrect, as that's the number of casualties rather than of the dead (
Collection « Mémoire et Citoyenneté » #10 p.7).
′The usual practice was to bring together battalions of white Colonial Infantry ("les marsouins") and African Tirailleurs into mixed regiments de marche.'
This certainly occurred at Gallipoli, but is there evidence that this was usual practice and not just a one-off? What is the source of this statement?
