Infirmiers de la Legion,

Bonjour á tous,

Can someone show me a picture (or the homologation number) of the types of Infirmier insignias used by legionnaires while serving in Indochine and AFN?

Cordialement, Harri.

Bonjour,

An additional question of the same subject:

I bought this badge several years ago and the guy who sold it (a Frenchman), told me this badge was used by some Infirmiers of the Legion in AFN. Can anyone tell me if this is true or false, please.

Cordialement, Harri.

Bonjour a tous,
As nobody has commented, I will show what I have learned since this question was published for the first time.
Obviously this cloth insignia was used as a breast patch and later as a sleeve patch

I am still waiting for an answer if that metal badge ever has been used as a brevet for infirmiers in Legion.

Cordialement, Harri.

Hi

I'm not a badge collector, but I think the anchor don,t looks like Legion.
It's generaly used by Navy or Colonial regiments.
At least it should be a general badge used in Legion.
Friendly

Hi Harri,

I'm not sure the Legion wore this insigna who is this of the Colonial Health Corps .
But the lozenge model 45 was well worn by the " male nurse " from légion . Like you see on the pic , this lozenge is wear on the front of the shirt and not on the left arm for show the specialty of this Legionnaire .

En ole varma Legion käyttivät tätä insigna joka on tämän siirtomaa Health Corps.
Mutta imeskelytabletti malli 45 oli hyvin kuluneet "mies sairaanhoitaja" siitä paljon. Kuten näet kuva, tämä imeskelytabletti on käytettävä edessä paita eikä vasen käsi näyttely erikoisuus tämän Legioonalainen.

See you

Bonjour and thousands of thanks for KR48 and gth94 for help.
I was hoping that this badge was worn by some Legion infirmiers as if they did the infirmier course with this unit, but I suppose not.

The infirmier losange was worn on the sleeve with rank stripes at least up to early 90's as I have some photos from 2e REP.

Cordialement, Harri.
