Stuka f Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Answer is given. Also; Good evening ladies and gentlemen, I think it is a captain's captain of the country railway sections (SCFC), in this case the 4th section. Created and organized before 1914, there are 10: 1st: P.L.M. (Paris-Lyon-Méditerranée) 2nd: P.L.M. 3rd: P.O. (Paris-Orléans) 4th: State 5th: North 6th: East 7th: Noon 8th: East, State and North 9th: State 10th: secondary railways. In 1917, an 11th section was formed by the 1st section: P.L.M. After the armistice, a 12th section will be formed by all the networks / sections, for the management and supervision of the service in Alsace-Lorraine.
