Casquette Bigeard

[Jacques]

Bonjour tout le monde! I recently picked this casquette Bigeard up and wanted to post it here to hopefully help anyone out or to give photos for anyone wanting reference! What I know is this cap belonged to a Commando in the 21e RIMA during the Suez Operations! This cap was sent alongside with a couple photos of this individual, no name was given

Nice pictures! The cap looks great.

I only have one photo from their time in Suez. They were armed primarily with M1917 rifles. Back in Algeria, the unit was posted to the Tunisian Frontier, around Ain Zerga, NNE of Tebessa.
