French Army

[linda51]

I have a one-page service record for my Dad in the French Army up to 1943 (which I knew about) but it starts again in the late 1950's saying he joined the Armee de-terre in Dakar as a resident of Nigeria. The final entry was 1961.

I know he was in Nigeria, but none of the family were aware of him rejoining the French Army. Does anyone have any ideas where I can get further information?
