French Military Personnel in Kepis Gathered Outdoors, WWI-Era French Pilot Album
This sepia photograph, drawn from a World War I-era French pilot's personal album, shows a group of French military personnel gathered closely outdoors. Most wear the traditional kepi and wool greatcoat of the French Army, while one man in a beret and heavy sweater stands apart in informal dress. The image likely dates to 1914-1918 and reflects the everyday camaraderie of French forces during the Great War. Project: 218542
