A few more I've collected

Here's a bit more of my collection that I can't identify. Learning is a big part of the fun though.

 

I'd guess and say the top ones (or at least some of them) could possibly be lanyards for whistles, but US items most definitely isn't my area.

 

The two on the left are ropes that you wear on the shoulder.

 

The "ropes" are more commonly known as Aguilletes (SP?) Adjutants Aguillettes (Again SP?) and Foreguerre (SP?) and is pronounced: four re jerre.

US stuff aint my specialty either ;-))

 

If that is a few, what is alot?

They are called fourageres, the red and green one goes with the French War Cross
Fourageres are individual or unit distinctions for French and foreign units. They are worn for parades and commemoration , a bit like the German ceremony tassels.

What most people don' t know is that many Amercian deserved tis distinction and therefore American veteran sometimes brought these home.

Here is a list : Fourragères
