Hallo,

fouragere aux couleurs du ruban de la croix de guerre 1914-1918 ?

The fourragères 14-18 and 39-45 are identical, and yes, that is a good one.

Hi,

they are not exactly identical.

 

If the fourragère was won during WW1 it is without an olive.

If it is won during WW2, it is with an olive red with green.

If a fourragère was won in both WW it is with an olive green with red for 14-18 and an olive red with green for 39-45.

Michael is correct, French fourragères merit more in depth explanations due to a system of "olives" (see pic below) explaining when they were earned and the degree of the award.
