The Prussian Posted April 7 Posted April 7 Hello! I´ve got this nice photo from 3rd company, french infantry regiment 152. Does anyone know when the picture was taken and since when the regiment had the devil's badge on the cap (Bonnet de police) and which medal the officer wears? Thanks a lot in advance!
Chris Boonzaier Posted April 11 Posted April 11 If I remember right, they got it fighting on the Hatmannsweilerkopf. I think this Photo must be 1920s or early 1930s?
The Prussian Posted April 11 Author Posted April 11 Hi Chris! Thanks a lot! Yes, at the Hartmannsweillerkopf they received their nickname by german troops and kept it until today! By the way, I got the information, that they received their cap-badge in 1924
Rich Posted April 11 Posted April 11 (edited) The officer is wearing a Colonial Medal with one bar for overseas campaign service. Most likely for Morocco during this time period. Edited April 11 by Rich
The Prussian Posted April 12 Author Posted April 12 (edited) Hi Rich! Thank you very much! So I´ll have to buy another one with the Morocco clasp. I only have the Algerian one... 🙂 Edited April 13 by The Prussian 1
