  • Chasseur Alpin
    Marcel Laffont, Ardèche, Chasseurs Alpins: Ypres, Soissons, Alsace, Somme, Maurepas, 1916 Raymond Desvarreux (1876–1961) image: A full length portrait of a French infantryman of the 23e bataillon de chasseurs alpins.

  • Chasseurs Alpins at Dundee
    Object description 'French Chasseurs [Alpins] who will accompany the replacement troops of the US 339th Infantry Regiment on the Eastern Wharf at Dundee, 20 September 1918.' The 339th did not serve in France, but in Northern Russia, so the caption is wrong when the IWM record this within "THE HUNDRED DAYS OFFENSIVE, AUGUST-NOVEMBER 1918"
