Guest Posted 21 August , 2018 Share Posted 21 August , 2018 Dear all can anyone confirm whether the uniforms in the attached postcard are of British or French troops? The caption says English but according to the official histories Edea was held by French soldiers so I am confused! many thanks davidz ps quality is not good I include enlargements which are as good as i can get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaureenE Posted 24 August , 2018 Share Posted 24 August , 2018 There is an image of a French Colonial soldier in a page from MilitarySunHelmets,com "French Sun Helmets in Posters" http://www.militarysunhelmets.com/2012/french-sun-helmets-in-posters To my eyes , it looks similar to the photograph above.

Heid the Ba Posted 24 August , 2018 Share Posted 24 August , 2018 Not sure about the white guys but the black guys look like Tirailleurs Camerounais to me, the hat with the bobble on it looks like theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
