Wasn't the French ww1 uniform horizon blue? I know, that the uniform of 1914 was a blue coat with red pants and that they changed it to horizon blue in 1915. But I didn't know about this khaki uniform.
There were many uniforms in 1914. Blue coat & red pants were for ordinary infantry. Artillery wore dark blue, like chasseurs. Cavalry had several uniforms (husars, dragons, chasseurs à cheval in light blue). Khaki uniforms were for colonial troops, and were extended to all troops after 1920.
Yes, Capitaine Conan is a good book, and a good movie perhaps the only good movie about WW1 in the past 20 years.
I've known about the many different French uniforms of the war, but I thought, that colonials wore both blue and khaki uniforms. I've seen pictures of Tirailleur Sénégalaise in blue.
the uniforms of the 'Army of Orient' during the WW1 vs the German and the months after vs the Russians Bolcheviks were with the colour in this movie and not blue
That was the colour of the french colonial troup (regiments based in Africa with french recruitment) which were the majority of the french soldiers of the Armée d'Orient on the front of Salonic.

By the way. The book has been published in Hungarian and it is excellent.
