Description
After the fall of France in 1940, a determined group of French soldiers escaped to England, ready to continue the fight against the Axis powers. On September 15, 1940, General de Gaulle ordered the formation of the 1st Air Infantry Company, a precursor to the 3rd SAS battalion. These men, trained as commandos and paratroopers, soon integrated into the British SAS, contributing to its legendary operations in North Africa, Europe, and beyond.
These reproduction shoulder titles are a faithful representation of the insignia worn by the Free French SAS soldiers who stood side by side with the British in some of WWII’s most daring operations. Measuring 6.5 cm x 2.8 cm and crafted with precision, they come in a pair – perfect for both display or completing your WW2 impression with authenticity.
Wear them with pride and honour the legacy of the Free French soldiers who made history in the fight against Hitler’s war machine!
