Joel,

That is a very nice collection of items. Is the red and blue infantryman's uniform from a specific regiment? A local one?

Welcome to the forum as well.

Regards,

Scott.

Great stuff - this sort of local exhibition is always a joy to stumble upon.

Any more close ups?

Bon jouer Joel,
Tres bien!
Many thanks for posting these most interesting images.
There are some very nice artifacts on display.
I particularly like the personnel effects of the Poilous.
Please forgive any spelling mistakes.
Congratulations to all concerned!
Regards,
Bob Norman

Scott,

The red and blue 'piou-piou' is from the infantry regiment 113 from Blois
Local regiment with great losses on the 22 of August 1914 at Signeulx ( Belgium) 1200 men out of 3600 in one day!!

Most of the items shown are' "local" it was the idea fot the exhibition !!
