rankfilm Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Hello guys Building on a previous question about Adrian helmet symbols (in which I discovered that a green triangle may indicate resistance). I was wondering if anyone knew this insignia. It reminds me of the RAF - is it French Airforce? Thanks in advance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny Andrew Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 It's not French airforce as their insignia was blue in the center instead of red, RAF usually had a yellow circle so seems unlikely to be airforce. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fritz Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Offical insignia was metal, these differed on the 1915 models from those of the later 1926 model worn in WW2, both types prevailed. Take a look under Adrian Insignia under google pictures, or under Wikipedia, you will find a big selection and information. A picture of a standard French Adrian, horizon blue, of WW1 for infantry and some other troops, and of a grouping of different types, some with later added badges, the badge should always be the same material and colour of the helmet for campaign use. Officers sometimes had a more elaborate type of chinstrap, plaited leather. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
