Legion d'Outremer and Cherkassian irregulars????

I'm only just looking into this period, but the middle East was on my mind!!  As were the French troops which fought with the British in Palestine

well, if You want to do the french struggling to establish the kindom of Cilicia against the turks, You need the armenian legion.
and yes, they had Cherkassian cavalry right up to WW2. but most troops right after WW2 were senegalese.
