Needs deciphering and rewording

" In 1921, [1] the differentiation operated between the Algerian and Tunisian tirailleurs: there was no 4th Algerian Tirailleurs Regiment, nor 8th Tunisian Tirailleurs Regiment ( French: 8e Régiment de Tirailleurs Tunisiens), nor 12th Tunisian Tirailleurs Regiment ( French: 12e Régiment de Tirailleurs Tunisiens), nor 16th Tunisian Tirailleurs Regiment ( French: 16e Régiment de Tirailleurs Tunisiens), the numbering multiplied by four being consequently attributed to the Tunisian Tirailleurs, the other numbering accordingly being designated to the Algerian Tirailleurs."
