The French uniform of
1914-1915 was red and blue.
The trousers were red (Pantalons Rouges) as was the kepi (hat) in some units, blue in others. The tunic and the coat were blue. |
|
|
Starting in 1915 the French
started to replace the red and blue uniforms with a sky blue version.
Khaki was issued to their Colonial troops and the Foreign Legion. At the same time the "Adrian" steel helmet replaced the kepi. |
