The Battle of Tachekkirt was a battle between the French forces of Marshal Jacques Louis Randon and the allied Algerian forces of Lalla Fatma N'Soumer and Sherif Boubaghla.[1]
The Algerian forces feared that the French would launch a surprise attack. Shortly after the appearance of Lalla Fatma N'Soumer and her reinforcements, composed of Kabyle warriors, they assumed strategic positions and lookouts were placed.[2]
The battle took place on 18 July, and the Algerian tribes were victorious over the French army led by Marshal Randon.[1][3][4] The French casualties were 800 dead, included 56 officers, and 371 injured.[1] Marshall Randon was almost captured during this battle but managed to escape. [5]
After the battle, Algerian commander Sherif Boubaghla was killed, most likely by the betrayal of his own allies, and N'Soumer took command of the resistance.[4]
