Free French Paratrooper.
In case you have misread the title this is not a buy one get one free offer but an attempt to identify some photographs in a recently purchased album. The French soldier appears to be wearing a British B.D. and his parachute wings have the cross of Lorraine. Knowing nothing about the subject I am assuming that he is a Free French Paratrooper.
Can anyone please confirm or put me right on the I.D. please? I also note that in the second photograph he has an essential piece of kit carried by every self respecting Frenchman, mais, c'est ne pas une pipe. Last edited by High Wood; 28-05-13 at 10:12 PM.

After having a good look at the first pic, I see nothing wrong about the FFL parawings,the shoulder braid shows him as a Second-Lieutenant. As for the second pic,you're right.
