The Senegalese Tata is the one and only national necropolis dedicated to the Senegalese skirmishers and the Battle of France of 1940 – a high place of our collective memory. In Senegalese Tata means enclosure of sacred land where dead warriors are buried in battle. In this cemetery, inaugurated on November 8, 1942, rest 188 named or unknown soldiers all from the great Africa and fallen in the battle of Chasselay-Montluzin in June 1940.
