French Liberation Army helmet badge

So recently i got a M26 Adrian helmet off ebay and i was thinking of putting on the badge.Soon after i was watching a small documentary film about the Free French Forces.And i heard that in 1943 after the North Africa campaign that the Free French where re equiped with U.S weapons and some of their original 1940 gear (including the M26 adrian).So my question is: What was the badge of a Free French soldier's Adrian Helmet from 1943 to 45.Was it the standard flaming bomb,the cross of Lorraine or some other simbol.Thanks!

 

They used all of them, depending on their units. These helmets were not 1940 leftovers, but the standard uniforms of the colonial troops which still had their original supplies (some of the Free French came all the way from Tchad with their helmets and fought at Lybia, Italy etc...) . Those refitted with US or British gear were usually the men who landed during operation Dragoon (1st armorred army with Delattre) . The colonial insignia would be the grenade mixed with an anchor, but many soldier took their colonial helmet anchor insignia and put it on their Adrian , this is a common but quite valuable combination.

 

Thanks Skipper! I would just like to ask you what did the troops from metropolitan France and the French that lived in North Africa who joined De Gaulle have as the insignia? I know that it was common for the Morrocan and Algerian troops to have the crescent moon with the RF and the Tchad and other Africans to have the anchor. Did the Metropolitan French and African French also have the anchor or did they have the cross of Lorraine or flaming bomb? Sorry to bug you.
