1914 WW1 France 6e Bataillon de Chasseurs Alpins Group Photo

This postcard features a group photograph of soldiers from the 6e Bataillon de Chasseurs Alpins, an elite French mountain infantry unit, taken around 1914. The Chasseurs Alpins, known for their distinct berets and specialized mountain warfare training, are seen proudly posing in their military uniforms. Their equipment, including cross-body ammunition pouches and gaiters, reflects their readiness for rugged terrain combat. The photograph is set against the backdrop of a stone building, suggesting a military camp or garrison location.

A handwritten inscription on the front of the postcard reads, "Souvenir d'un fort sourire à mon beau frère Marc," which translates to "A souvenir of a big smile for my brother-in-law Marc," adding a personal and sentimental element to the image.

The reverse side of the postcard follows the classic "Carte Postale" format, with designated sections for correspondence and the recipient's address. It remains unused, preserving its historical integrity.
