EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Le lieutenant-colonel Regnier; commandant le regiment d'infanterie coloniale du Maroc, qui vient d'obtenir la fourragère" (Lieutenant-Colonel Regnier, Commander of the Colonial Infantry Regiment of Morocco, Receiving the Fourragère), was published in the French illustrated magazine "L'Illustration" in 1916. The image captures a proud and distinguished-looking Colonel Regnier, dressed in his full military uniform, adorned with various medals and decorations. The most notable addition to his uniform is the new fourragère, a braided cord worn on the left shoulder signifying that the wearer has been decorated with the Croix de Guerre, a military decoration for gallantry in the face of the enemy. The photograph provides a glimpse into the fashion and apparel of the French military during the First World War. Colonel Regnier's uniform is a testament to the intricacies of military uniform design during this era. The high collar, epaulets, and the distinct cap with a red tassel are all characteristic of the French colonial infantry uniform of the time. The image also offers a glimpse into the colonial context of the French military during the early 20th century. The Colonial Infantry Regiment of Morocco was a part of the French colonial army, responsible for maintaining French control over its North African territories. The presence of the fourragère on Colonel Regnier's uniform signifies his bravery and leadership in the face of the enemy during military engagements in Morocco or elsewhere. The photograph, taken by the French photographer Manuel, is a significant historical document, offering insights into the military history, fashion, and colonial context of France during the First World War.
