Fantassin du 66 ème de ligne, septembre 1915 ...translation later
Notre client a souhaité rendre hommage à son arrière grand père, tué lors de la seconde offensive de l'Artois en septembre 1915.
La difficulté majeure a été de se baser sur les illustrations de l'époque et les pièces parvenues jusqu'à nous et clairement datées de cette période.
En effet le deuxième semestre de 1915 est une période durant laquelle les approvisionnements sont très difficiles. Les autorités avaient prévu une guerre courte et elle s'enlise dans les tranchées. L'industrie textile est en zone occupée par les allemands et il faut se rabattre sur des fabrications de substitution, des ersatz...un mot allemand.
On fait alors "flèche de tout bois". Certains partent au front avec leurs propres culottes de velours côtelé, des brodequins civils. On confectionne des brelages en toile de tente, on recouvre les gourdes de grosse toile bleutée.
Autant les tenues règlementaires ne posent pas de problèmes...on refait la même chose qui est "uniformisée", à partir de bonnes sources.
Autant il ne faut pas non plus donner l'impression qu'on habille notre fantassin comme un clochard en l'affublant de tout ce qui peut ressembler à des équipements civils et militaires d'époque...un peu facile.
Nous nous sommes donc attaché à intégrer dans cette tenue des éléments d'époque que nous avons pu trouver dans des photos de cette période, ou provenant de familles dans lesquels ils avaient été conservés. Si nous avons du les refaire, nous sommes partis de matériaux d'époque.
Le tout a demandé beaucoup de recherches, mais la demande émanait d'un de nos plus fidèles clients et ça nous a fait plaisir de satisfaire sa demande et de changer un peu de période.
Nous mettons d'abord en ligne les éléments d'équipement, l'uniforme qui nous a servi de modèle (en mauvais état, mais 100 % d'époque) .
La copie que nous allons en faire suivra dans le cours du 1er trimestre 2019New

So we bought an original sabre, and we made moulds from it, and we have choosen to put a blade that really existed and was attributed to General Merda (!).
On one face you can read " Au Grand Napoléon 1er Empereur des Français et Roi d'Italie", on the other side was indicated name of his regiment followed by " Pour l'Honneur et la Patrie".
Merda arrested Robespierre and Couthon on night between 27th to 28th july 1794 (9 to 10 thermidor) An II.
Chevalier de la Légion d'honneur in 1804 then officer in 1807, he becomes baron Méda (it sounds better in french!). He fights with his regiment, in battles of Eylau, Wagram, Smolensk.
He is deeply wounded during Moskova-Borodino battle on 5th septembre 1812, is promoted général de brigade and dies 3 days later.
