Yoro Maka was born in 1896. He was a private in the 85th Bataillon de Tirailleurs Sénégalais. He came from Nara, in today’s #Benin, and had number 59634 at the conscription office of Porto-Novo, the capital of the French colony named Dahomey. He was about 20-21 year old when he died because of a pneumonia in Yzeure (Allier, France) in 1917, like many other African soldiers who suffered French cold climate during winter. #WWIAfrica ww1photographs.wordpress/
