kloughnane Posted 24 July , 2021 Share Posted 24 July , 2021 FROGSMILE, Thank you for your kind words. As I said before, this is the first colourisation that I have done of a French soldier so I was a little concerned about getting the colours right. It's always nice when someone with the required knowledge come along and points one in the right direction. Again - thank you. Regards, Kev Loughnane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would the dress regulations be that of the artillery, given their heritage as <<artillerie spéciale>>? Thanks Yes it was a subdivision of the artillery and therefore followed the same uniform regulations however were issued certain items unique to them. Here's another good website which covers this topic. http://www.lesfrancaisaverdun-1916.fr/uniforme1024.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith_history_buff Posted 25 July , 2021 Share Posted 25 July , 2021 Hello Guêpe, thank you for taking the time to not only answer the question, but to have also provided a link to an article about the uniform of the tankistes, which also has some very interesting content on how the look of the poilu changed as the years progressed. Thanks Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
