I am a little confused, there are many photos of the uniform, equipment and armament.
But one of the most important things for the soldier is very poorly documented.
What dinnerware (gamelle) were issued to the soldiers in Indochina
Was there also a mix of French, US and GB material, as usual?
What is used by you.
Thanks for the help.

Logic would dictate that at the beginning of the war you'd see the mix of WW2 era French, UK, an US mess gear (gamelle). Toward the end of the war I would expect to see mostly the Mle 52 French gamelle which is set up on the UK pattern.   |

Foreign kits were used, but the gamelles Mle. 35 and the later Mle. 52 would be predominant.

Another great find Stalder. What search engine does Switzerland have?

As far as I know, none other than all else?
However, I ask the Internet more and more in French.
Unfortunately, I do not mean that I know the language particularly well.
But I work on it every day.

Me too. The French Parachutists I jump with in ADT look at each other when I speak. They are far too nice to say my French sucks.
