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.
