Possibility of mixture of equipments modife 34 and mle 35/37?

Salut,

I will ask in English, my French is still terrible. Sorry for that  

Would it be possible to see a mixture of the equipment modifé 1934 and the later mle 1935 parts?

Like cartouchiéres modifé 1934 and a sac suéperieur and musette mle 35?

I have seen some pis of soldiers equipped with the ancien modéle cartouchiére mle 1916 and the mle 1935 bidon and in one case a soldier equipped with the mle 1935 leather eqipment but wearing an old havresac. But what´s about the mix of old and new leather equipments?

Thank you for your help.

It's not a good idea to mix equipments modifié 1934 or 1935 model or old model of the first worl war.
But for bidons it's different, in 1939-1940 you can use a 1877 model or a 1935 model with all models of equipments as you want (but with a "courroie" with old equipment and "boucleteaux" with equipements modifié 1934 and 1935 model). The model of bidon is not a part of the equipement, a soldier can use a 1877 model or 1935 model without distinction

Hello,

I worked a little about that question. I never see mixture of equipments mle 16/34/35, only mess tin (gamelle) mle 35 with equipment mle 16. Troups are equiped with only one type of equipment. but often have equipment mle 35 with Berthier rifles.

Okay thank you.

Another qiestion: During the surrender of the French Forces in Lille 1940 the units marched into captivity in full marching order, still with weapons. And they wore a "bedroll" with their blanket and their tent section rolled around their shoulders.

I haven´t seen this type of roll again, was it only for this "parade" or was it a common methode?

I only see this on pics from the WW1.

On photos of the surrender of the french forces in Lille, soldiers dont worn a combat equipement but just captivity paquetage.

Thank you, that explains a lot.

Merci
