Art/Literary - History / WWII | | French term or phrase: PC à Marrakech | Talking about how the 3rd Spahi Brigade was formed:
...par regroupement du 2e Régiment de Spahis Algériens (2e RSA) venant de l’Oranais algérien (PC à Tlemcen) et du 2e Régiment de Spahis Marocains (2e RSM) venant du Sud Marocain (PC à Marrakech).
All I can think of is "poste de commande" but I´m not nearly sure enough.
Thanks. |

| | Poste de Commandement | Explanation:
You were just about spot on - in fact it is "Poste de Commandement". In English, I would translate your phrase as "HQ".

With the advantage of hindsight, Wendy, I just wanted to say that you could also possibly translate this particular context as "stationed at". |
