Hello ,a comment . At the outbreak of ww1 many foreigners resident or not in France volunteered to service in the French Army.this corp of volunteers included citizens of USA . The Swiss writer Blaise Cendrars was among the volunteers . he wrote a book The chopped hand , in which related his war experiences . Two points of his book i think are in connection with the theme . One that all the volunteers were officially incorporated into the Foreign Legion . as infantrymen . Two ,during 1915 ,the French High Command searched the files looking for volunteers to serve in the heavy Artillery . the neccesity of artillerymen endured all the duration of the war . so if Dr Brodeur enlisted in the Foreign Legion it was because this Corp was the only allowed to receive foreign volunteers . acting as a sort of Depot . and being a graduate its not surprise that he was oriented to the Artillery,

Hello , Three Monarchies remains in northern Europe , the Swedish ,the Danish and the Norwegian , all the three with Navies .the badge posted could be of the Swedish Navy (Svenska Flottan ). of the Danish No because the Danes wear a Navy badge with oak leaves and not laurel ones . apart the anchor is carried over a oval cockade red white. Norwegian Navy is another option . Great Britain No , the crown of the Royal Navy is quite distinct. some else : It looks as a badge for use on berets or a baseball cap

Hello , My pleasure , perhaps exists something similar about Belgian blades . The German manufacturer Weyerberg Kirschbaum & co that exists today was a great manufacturer of blades and probably supplied the Belgian Army , as note ,today WKC produces ceremonial blades for France and Great Britain in the last case having the patterns of Wilkinsons.
PS Excuse me , do you need tanslation ?

For a while i tought in Guido von Usedom but he died in 1925. Usedom also was awarded the turkish war medal , the other German Admiral present in Turkey was Vizeadmiral Johannes Merten but he died in 1926 curiously he was recognized by the Ottoman Empire as General der Artillerie . sugerence : Go to : Kategorie Vizeadmiral ( Kaiserliche Marine ) Wikipedia with some luck you can find something

Yes , and the Mission is named Jeanne d Arc because when it was established was on board of the Jeanne d Arc R97 a Cruiser launched in 1961 with the name La Resolute . changed for Jeanne d Arc when comissioned in 1964 . she served until 2010 .

bcalkins : Thanks for your answer, I dont thougt in foot jaegers. in mounted ones yes but the patch doesnt match. Regarding to the 1st Feldjager , according with Lorenz , the ethnicity was 62 per cent Germans 26 pc Czechs and 2 per cent others, Perhaps after the reorganistion of the year 1917 the Battallion was merged with a Hungarian one
