World War 1 French Field Soldier's Helmet

myminifactory

This uniform cap would have been worn by a French field soldier during World War 1. The "field blue" color was the standard color worn by French soldiers at that time. This cap wouldn't be worn during battles but would still accompany soldiers to the front lines. They would either wear it when off-duty or back on friendly soil.
