Hello everyone,
 
My Grandfather was a Tirailleur during World War One (4e Regiment de Tirailleurs Algeriens).
 
I have seen a photo of him with his Chechia with a "4" on it and I have seen his Chechia with what I can only describe as a 4e Regiment de Marche badge (similar to but not exactly the same as the "star shaped" [not elephant containing] 4e Regiment de Tirailleurs Tunisiens badge which you can see on ebay).
 
I have also seen other chechias on ebay and Google with a numeral and with a crescent underneath it
 
Will someone please tell me which is the correct badge for a 4e Tirailleur ! Did the badges change from Regiment to Regiment de Marche ?
 
Should my Grandfather's Chechia have a crecent underneath it ?
 
Where can I buy the numeral 4 to add to my collection please ?
 
Merci beucoup
 
Andre
