fred82 Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Hello, It's not a French badge. This a badge of Belgian Artillery. Made in France like many Belgian Badge of Belgian army . Fred82 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishGunner Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 I agree that it's not a French military badge; although made by Drago, Paris, I suspect it is for another country. And I seriously doubt it is cavalry. While the horseshoe might suggest cavalry, crossed cannons make no sense (to me at least) for cavalry. Horse artillery perhaps. I first thought Belgian, but it is not the badge of the Belgian Artillery. Perhaps of a Belgian artillery regiment with a horse artillery tradition...

IrishGunner Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Here's some history... in French: http://www.anciens19ach.be/aiech.html My French is very weak, but it seems the 19. ACh was at one time part of the Régiment d'Artillerie du Corps de Cavalerie (R.A.C.C.) ... thus the cavalry connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
