4thGordons Posted 1 April , 2010 Share Posted 1 April , 2010 Out of my area but I could not resist this classic image of a "poilu" It is a little damaged but he seems to be in full early war kit with Kepi, Lebel etc. Can someone enlighten me as to the meaning of the sleeve badge on his greatcoat? It appears to be a horn? TIA Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdr Posted 1 April , 2010 Share Posted 1 April , 2010 I think the horn is a shooting prize insignia (normally in red, gold for nco's) Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
