3:14 pm
pretty nice to teach the kid. to budget tell you to do something that your idea of a young that could be could kill them off they would be people more or less all truly. to hear. it for a lesson to feel secure or maybe a city or you go to the edge and you're raised it to my let's call it till i get it for free at the steeple of this man this man this may not actually love to look for the mini i assume he'll pull off or look at julie's suit but through. the search for doing so not that you'd be elated with me already that's what the overall reports could be said yes they've. done it for she. could move it could be interesting. sometimes or wrong rather than written history can shed light on this question.
3:15 pm
the father of tunis human writers and soon i was conscripted into the french army he'll have shown in no doubt whatsoever as to how he was treated by some french officers. most who did all the but what ken you could be the butt of them so we will. get beat up beat up where they can you some of the but raid but. such as and ok no day event. if he were to. atone suffered a will. accept without any. and he was not asked me if he was of had an ad that will end combat wedding and be that when i know one i. like a feeling better way to wait with him but yes i'm happy in the man i. share i cannot. it has one of. my death. then i could only see.
3:16 pm
as soon as father spoke of discrimination and this is part of a bigger question of army discipline in the. desire to face execution. but the french are accused of something more sinister the ancient roman army practice of decimation the killing of every tenth member of a unit for failures of discipline. france is reported to have used it against its north african troops. as in roman times decimation was used against a whole unit rather than individuals. like investigated an incident here in the belgian village of zilla back near the battlefield of on the fifteenth of december one thousand nine hundred fourteen.
3:17 pm
the word the last shorter coward strapped to their chests twenty algerian and two lizzie and soldiers from the eighth kompany of the tenth battalion of the it is you monique's duty or your as you know were ordered to march towards the german lines their comrades ordered to shoot them if the enemy did it. it's not clear how widespread decimation was for gilbert many this is partly because of a lack of written records. that. is because this. song was. the. she. of won't do it on off on diesel pumps i don't know what honey. they
3:18 pm
make it said butler certainly. had to she despite. the. young oh no to the new year it was indeed. made. because he leaves that he can set them occasionally but p.c. movie. lets in on the big of a solution to our local monocoque have a comedy is say they are pulling. a kiddie we resolve it is all you saw today because it opens up. i thought she did this us only on a little time so more republican party stuff you know. that your city could does with an elite that costs more than more you still use fuel on the list i get those are two separate the yes but that if i'm to be at the scene is
3:19 pm
a read only one says so this is actually the. lottery jim would cowards like him say son make a new customer a little girl. as if he themself i mean it's all you need to measure see ya know you can see clearly is although he did force me back to it. as a footnote many sides of the decimation of a french division from mutiny in one thousand nine hundred seventeen as evidence that it continued during the war. world war one saw a new deadly threat to the allies on the western front including north african troops. in the belgian province of west flanders was the scene of five major battles in four years in the second in april and may nine hundred fifteen the germans used chlorine. yes against their own powers for the first time.
3:20 pm
algerians and moroccans fought alongside british french and canadians gas from over five thousand canisters blew towards them six thousand men died and many others were blinded the second battle of april heralded a new era of industrial scale warfare the first attack involved the forty fourth algerian division and the eighty seventh french territorial division those were two units first exposed but of course they fled to other parts of the front subsequent gas attacks and there were a number in april afflicted canadian forces british forces as well as french. so several of the allied formations were exposed to gas fairly early on. armies have always used technology to develop new methods of warfare but world war one saw a step change in the level of collaboration between scientists and the military.
3:21 pm
when the kaiser vilhelm institute for physical chemistry opened in berlin the suburb of dahlan and october one thousand nine hundred twelve its first director was for. its scientists have since one thirty three nobel prizes but harbor is infamous for having invented chemical warfare because of his development of poisonous gas in the war. hubbard himself won a nobel prize for chemistry in one thousand nine hundred eighteen for his synthesizing of ammonium much food production depends today on harbors methods for producing fertilizer but the impact of the chemical weaponry developed from harbors chlorine gas. as being devastating.
3:22 pm
were first conscripted into the french army in one thousand nine hundred eleven. they found themselves fighting as part of a french occupying force in morocco and march nineteenth twelve. then they were called on to fight fellow muslims on a far greater scale. when the ottomans joined the warren of ember nine hundred fourteen it dawned on the chin is even conscripts they might now be ordered to fight turks syrians iraqis lebanese and palestinians. this deeply offended their our old sensibilities. i hope this apprehension quickly turned to insubordination. here at the gymnasium board of bizarre that there was a rebellion in november one thousand nine hundred fourteen by troops being sent by
3:23 pm
the french to europe the chin is eons refused to board boats bound for march say is the hand of one but that it in the war but of the verb are them a. rule thought it had vested over there it is a bed of madam to their ticket as there's a democrat in that and i'm the head that has a guinea where the shore all behavior and how to cut it off got it you don't see it then he have assuredly anyway you know her authority benny the come about a moral neck i think our team there are scary a later but what other should all us all what is matter could have been with him but that he will have to add that up with a you are lucky i'm a bad an innocent a herd of mostly mina enough to know whether i'm alive but i think if you're an idea i love of money i know that when he did media but the work of it it had to die and money and my neck and orlando martin must be me. a little you really do not only know what you know how to do know. but that by.
3:24 pm
but. even. so you're saying there's a bad. scene . here but i ask that if you don't see how the rest of the. team. would. look at. this. you need.
3:25 pm
to be sort of. what. happens and i did manage. to sit with. the german and ultimately come to unsettle muslims around the issue of fighting muslims clearly calls on rest in the arab world but it's a fact also felt in. india. in january nineteenth fifteen and indian regiment in singapore rebelled because they thought the british were sending them to fight the old. you have a number of reports of of mostly indian muslim soldiers being quite unhappy about
3:26 pm
being sent to fight the holy fire really you know being sent to fight the ottoman empire there's one instance of an entire battalion refusing to board the ship to go but basically peaceably the most dramatic thing in what must have been terrifying to the english and very frightening is that in singapore the fifth light infantry which is composed of muslims actually stop opened fire on the english officers and soldiers and something like eighty plus they killed eighty plus englishman and the reprisals a very harsh and they're arrested rounded up you know and that must a really scared the english officers in command because the idea that you know when you have hundreds of thousands of indian soldiers if that kind of thing ticks off it's going to be a big problem so so where there are mutinies they're really put down. harshly
3:27 pm
but it's not only the muslims because what's happening in india is you also have indian nationalists of all religions who want the british to go. coming up opposition to conscription and french colonial occupation feels more of a rest engine is a. man like me it's more descendants of north african war veterans and here is their personal stories. of how our of troops contributed to one of the allies most serious defeats of the war at the locally. then stuff come out as a result of coming up to shoot his order i do not order you to fight i go to you to die. in a world where journalism as an industry is changing we have fortunate to be able to

3:47 pm
transport of french prisoners of war including north african prisoners of war was in autumn one hundred fourteen and they were sent to sawsan and other places but they were together the french one and not africans and then there was this idea and a suggestion to separate muslim prisoners from other prisoners and the idea behind this was to. have better chances for propaganda purposes and that's why there was this such as to the one camp which was exclusively for muslim prisoners of war at the end they separated the prisoners and there was one prisoner for camp in two thousand which was quote the vine backlog where they are tyrion a carcass in prison us soldiers who belong to the russian army or so muslims but
3:48 pm
not exclusively muslims and the other is first sent to the half-moon camp which was opened in the beginning of one thousand nine hundred fifteen and this camp was meant for not african prisoners or for but also for indian prisoners of war and they also had a small group of korea and vietnamese prisoners at the half moon camp. the first mosque to be wrecked to them john and so on was erected here at the half moon p.t.w. come on large ornate wooden structure completed in july one thousand nine hundred fifteen. was a showdown in which the kaiser and german hierarchy took a strong interest. it was a key part of their campaign to turn muslim troops against their european masters dating back to the grand mufti is called to jihad in november one thousand nine hundred fourteen. they used the comforts of the half-moon p.o.w.

3:50 pm
a very strong. building and it after i think in the ninety's late nineteen twenty fifth collapsed because there nobody took care of it. the muslim prisoners a tough new certainly enjoyed better facilities than other camps offered. the half-moon project was led by the german lawyer diplomat ancient historian and archaeologist max von open who. invited prominent on about it damn it since spiritual leaders to come and visit the prison at half moon there were activities they did some sports and there were as it was somehow part of the entertainment they were coming important arab nationalists like the egyptian mohamed thirty eight or the tunisian sally asked to see who are. made propaganda for they are ideas of an independent egypt are independent to
