Battle context
The Battle of Fellaoucene took place near Tlemcen in April 1957 during the Algerian War of Independence. The engagement produced notably high French casualties relative to the force committed, with losses estimated between 400 and 700 from a force of approximately 1,000, against 120 on the ALN side. The disparity in losses points to the operational difficulties French forces faced against ALN units operating in their home terrain during this phase of the war.
