With the beginning of modern warfare, the French army had to adapt quickly which led to each year almost being a whole new look for the French Poilu. This video gives a quick look to the viewer of an example of what each soldier would have worn during the years of the Great War.

    Best representation I've seen of the French uniform's evolution in WW1. I don't think I've seen a realistic representation of the 1915 mish-mash anywhere, but this one is accurate right down to the corduroy pants because there wasn't enough horizon blue production yet. 1916 with the cover on the helmet but not the following years as the covers were dropped as they increased the risk of infection in case of head wounds. The list goes on. Bon boulot les gars!!! 👍

    Even in 1914, overtrousers, typically horizon blue, were often worn over the madder red trousers to make the uniform less conspicuous. The horizon blue cap cover worn by the 1914 guy is the beginning of common sense.

    Marvelous video! I am a WW2 re-enactor with over 30 years in the hobby. I have often wanted to re-enact The Great War. Sadly it isn't very popular here in the US due to our limited involvement in it. I love the early war uniforms of the French especially Zouave and Chasseurs. I know we ( USA ) adopted and bought many uniforms from France during the US Civil War and those have always been my favorite! BTW, my Grandfather and Great Uncle both fought in WW1 in France for the US. They loved the French people.

    The uniform it's beautiful although must recognized the fact that it lacks camouflage which means that a soldier out of a fortified position is easy target !!!

  • @labaguette3740
    @labaguette3740 ปีที่แล้ว

    If I can answer your question, why the French uniform was horizon blue, the staff wanted another uniform because seeing the red and blue uniform was too old and outdated. However, many were against the idea of changing this uniform because it was too symbolic (it is the color of France). Thus in 1914 it was finally decided to make a uniform where the blue of the top was mixed with the red of the bottom to make a color a little dark purplish red. However the red dye was exported from Germany and the rest you know...that's why the uniform is blue!!

    my god, the 1914 uniform is really something else. the first world war was really the first modern war in so many ways... I don't think that even ceremonial uniforms are that colourful nowadays, not unless we're talking about the president's honour guard of cuirassiers.

    The horizon blue and the Adrian helmet were adopted so quickly in 1915 because, even if they didn't adopt khaki or grey uniforms as other countries, the French did a lot of work on new uniforms in the years before the war, and some months before the start many things were on the verge of being ready waiting for a political ''yes''. They also created a camouflage (wich is a French word) very early in the war to help in the concealment of artillery and machine guns positions and also for the basic soldier.

    • @stevekaczynski3793

    • @Balrog2005
      @Balrog2005 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@stevekaczynski3793 Before WWI France, that may be ironic for some, was one of the countries that put more thougth and work on camouflage and new uniforms. The Reseda was ready but political and other things came in his way. So in late 1914 they have a lot of experience and designs ready, the problem was that the industry was now not ready for certain desings because of the mobilization and the lack of certain dyes, the horizon blue was the best they could, and ''Moutarde'' (mustad color) for the colonial troops, but the uniform was more modern and the Adrian was the first mass produced modern helmet. In a few months the french soldiers get one of the biggest change in gear of the war.
