1. An Appeal from His Majesty Mohammed V Memorial
فابتداء من هذا اليوم، وإلى غاية أن يكلل علم فرنسا وحلفائها بالنصر، سنظل مدينين لها بالمساندة دون تحفظ وعدم مساومتها في أي من مواردنا، وعدم التراجع أمام أي تضحية. لقد ارتبطنا بها في ساعة الهناء والرخاء، ومن الإنصاف أن نكون بجانبها في هذه المحنة التي تمر بها، ونحن على يقين بأنها ستخرج منها لا محالة منتصرة وقوية ".
C'est aujourd'hui, que la France prend les armes pour défendre son sol, son honneur, sa dignité, son avenir et le nôtre, que nous devons être nous-mêmes fidèles aux principes de notre race, de notre histoire et de notre religion.
A partir de ce jour et jusqu'à ce que l'étendard de la France et de ses alliés soit couronné de gloire, nous lui devons un concours sans réserve, ne lui marchander aucune de nos ressources et ne reculer devant aucun sacrifice. Nous étions liés à elle dans les temps de tranquillité et d'opulence et il est juste que nous soyons à ses côtés dans l'épreuve qu'elle traverse et d'où elle sortira, nous en sommes convaincus, glorieuse et grande.
À la gloire des goums mixtes marocains

An Appeal from His Majesty Mohammed V, Sultan of Morocco
His Majesty ordered this appeal to be read in all the mosques of the Kingdom at the time of France’s entry into the war in 1939:
It is today that France takes up arms to defend its soil, its honor, its dignity, its future and ours, which we must be faithful to the principles of our race, our history and our religion.
From this day until the standard of France and her allies be crowned with glory, we owe her an unmistakable reserve, not to bargain with her for any of our resources and not to retreat in the face of any sacrifice. We were bound to her in the days of tranquillity and opulence and it is right that we should be at her side in the ordeal it is now going through and from which it will emerge, we are convinced, glorious and great.
To the glory of the Moroccan mixed goums
“To the glory of the Moroccan mixed goums, created at the instigation of Marshal Lyautey."
“To the goumiers, maounines, moqqadmines and their chiefs fallen on the field of honour".
"Their influence in Morocco, their enthusiasm in the reconquest of French soil under the impetus of prestigious leaders, their sacrifices in the Far East have inscribed a dazzling epic in the folds of their flag and their pennants".
Morocco, Tunisia, Sicily, Corsica, Italy, France, Germany, Indochina, AFN (L'Afrique française du Nord or French North Africa)
Zidou l'gouddam: Forward, was their motto.
“This monument was inaugurated on October 13, 2015, in the presence of His Excellency, Mr. Chakib Benmoussa, Ambassador of His Majesty the King of Morocco to France, by Mr. Jean Marc Todeschini, Secretary of State for Veterans and Remembrance, by Mrs. Anne Hidalgo, Mayor of Paris, and by the Comptroller General of the Armed Forces Claud Sornat, President of Koumia, Association of Former Moroccan Goums and Indigenous Affairs"
