The Olive Tree in the Snow
When a young man from the Sahel region in Tunisia, full of hope and ambition, decides to follow his ancestors’ tradition by joining the army, he thinks that he will serve his country while following in the footsteps of his highly respected grandfather, who fought in the Crimean War alongside the British and the French against the Russians.
Because his country was colonised by France, he found himself caught up in wars that were not his own—wars that neither he nor his country had chosen or desired.
Yet like so many others from colonised nations, he was compelled to fight and to risk his life for causes that were foreign to him and battles that often contradicted his own people’s aspirations for freedom and dignity.
While his grandfather fought voluntarily and as an equal to the French, he fought out of obligation and as a second-class citizen of the French colonial empire. He was used as cannon fodder without the full recognition he deserved.
This young man is the father of the author who sheds light on the role of the colonial soldiers – THE TIRAILLEURS – and especially the famous 4th Tunisian Rifle Regiment (4eme R.T.T.), known for its bravery and its numerous military successes, which earned it a distinguished reputation on many battlefields. Composed largely of soldiers from Tunisia, the 4th Tunisian Rifle Regiment became a symbol.
The story is captivating and offers deep insight into the most critical periods of the 20th century.

The Beginning
Before the beginning of time, the Eldest God created the Lesser Gods. They then all turned to the creation of the worlds. They created the stars, the moons and all the worlds of the universe. When all was completed, they took their rest.
As they looked upon the world below them, darkness was seen creeping across the surface. “What is it that creeps across the world below us?” they asked the Eldest God.
“It is something that tries to turn everything it touches to evil. It will go throughout the world trying to maim and destroy,” answered the Eldest God.
“It should be destroyed,” the lesser gods decided, but the eldest stopped them.
“It cannot ever be completely destroyed. It must continue with this world on the path that has been appointed. But someone must be chosen to be the one to fight the darkness at the appointed time. Which of you, therefore, wishes to take up this weighty position?” he asked.
The lesser gods shifted uneasily, but not one of them stepped forth to take up the position. The eldest was angry at this stance. “I will travel this world, then, and choose a man from among the inhabitants of this world. A man who shall have the power to defend this world against all evil.”
The lesser gods looked at the eldest, shamefaced. “So be it!” they intoned.

Caenis and Caeneus
“A story about a god.” That’s how Northrop Frye defined myth. But the Greek myth of Caenis and Caeneus is less about the god Poseidon than about his paramour, the nymph Caenis, a “lesser” god whose favour he grants to become a man. As Caeneus, perceived male, she fights valiantly in war and is later elected king. This story takes up only a few sentences in Robert Graves’s The Greek Myths.
In Caenis and Caeneus, Paul Matthew St. Pierre writes it large, shifting the setting from Ancient Greece to the First World War and making the nymph a Birmingham chambermaid, Celia Richards, who becomes a man when she impersonates her twin, Cedric, a deserter from the Brummagem Guard, and goes off to war in his place.
In France, she distinguishes herself in battle and daring reconnaissance and search and destroy missions behind enemy lines, a woman taken for a man not through magic, the hand of god, or a transformation, but through performance, her ingenious portrayal of Cedric to save him from the gallows. Celia Richards is a new kind of war hero, a woman capable of doing all a man can do, only better. She makes the supreme sacrifice, giving up her life for her brother, heeding the call of king and country.
