Artur - Not much to add, unfortunately. Here's a well-researched short page about the TS regiments and their history on the 1914-1918 pages. If I read French a bit better, I'd probably be able to search the web more successfully on this. French-speaking members, can you help Artur?

I've got from my friend this great figure http://www.coloradominiatures.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=4046
Awesome sculpture! And interesting subject. But blue uniform is very popular and I want to make something different. I want to paint white uniform. Will be great to know something more about Senegals soldiers, especially TS regiment in white uniforms.

... Awesome figure Artur ! I feel tempted to buy one too.
As for the white uniform, I suppose that would be a tropical uniform for a colonial setting - this figure depicts a tirailleur on the western front in 1914 ...
Interesting subject, those french colonial troops in 1914; there were also Algerians, Chasseurs d'Afrique, etc, all very colourful uniforms.
I'll see if I can find some in white uniforms ...
Cheers,
Johan

hi Artur,
after a lot of search in my books and web site about the "troupes de marine"
nothing, nothing for the white uniforms !
On the west front in 1914 it was blue and after khaki (like on the pictures i've send you)
Two bataillons of TS in the 4e and 6e régiment mixte de marche.

Hi!
I've got some news from Dave (he painted the same figure):
"...This is a great figure and quite restrictive on the
uniforms that can be painted unless you are gonna do
some adjustments to the length of the jacket, as the
the jacket started as Dark Blue to match the Trousers
with yellow braiding down the legs and on the cuffs of
the jacket sleaves, this was the same design of
uniform that was used in the first few months of
Galipolli, it just went under a colour change to very
light of white trousers and light tan coloured
jacket. After a few months of this the uniform was
changed to all light Tan uniform with the same design..."
Something to read (from Osprey 286):

Thank you very much, guys, for your help!
So, "white" uniform on the our photos propably is from first months of Gallipoli.
Best regards
Artur
