Were the Spahi Senegalais Algerian? I thought they were West African.The Spahi of the Armee D'Afrique were Algerian.

Indochinese Spahis
Short-lived cavalry units designated as "spahis" were raised by the French Colonial Army in Indochina. The first of these was a squadron of spahis recruited from Cochinchina in 1861 and disbanded in 1871. The second was a small detachment of "Spahis Tonkinese" raised in Tonkin in 1883 and disestablished in 1889 for budgetary reasons

From the book "Les Linh Tap.   (Can be had via Amazon)
