    Much of the French military in World War II were foreigners. The French Expeditionary Corps was composed mainly of Algerians and Moroccans. It was this unit which broke through the Gustav Line in the Battle of Monte Cassino. Then there were the Senegalese Tirailleurs. The British military had Indians and the Gurkhas from Nepal.
