Somewhere I have a small book, a private publication about 40 or so years old I think, in French, on the SAS in France.
Must dig it out.

Hello Mike,
thank you very much for these pictures, I never see these.
Fors the first you're sure that they are French? I says that because the titles shoulder aren't "3rd SAS or 4TH SAS".
The secon is very nice et Frenchies.
Thank You.
Claude

The first image came from a French publication I believe - the two men are riding on/in a German motorcycle combination and the spelling of his shoulder title is in the French language . Also his hat (bonnet de police?) is not in the British style and he is certainly smoking a "pour les troupes" cigarette! So on balance - the only thing British about him is the Dennison smock. Mike

Hello Mike,
What you say is true for the cover (in French: bonnet de police or calot) so weird to see a leather harness on denison but good.
Friendly
Claude

How rare are the shoulder titles in French?

hello rhodesianmilitaria,
I would say the para patent Free France is not easy to find but it is not found either. There are many copies in a few years will unfortunately be sold for good.
Sincerely
Claude
