De Gaulle had approx. 100,000 troops in the Italian campaign and his policy of "whitening" the army replaced 20,000 West African soldiers with European French troops. So, given the 66.4% Muslim participation in the West African forces, we can reasonably expect 12,000-13,000 Muslims in the force of 100,000, or 12% of the invasion force.

So you're entering in a number of 12-13,000 Muslims then?

Do you intend to add any others to this total to represent all muslims on the allied side? If so, now's the time to put it out on the table.

That would be the number of West African Muslims in the Italian campaign.

See above.
