Description: | image: A poilu of 1916 dressed in horizon blue uniform (centre) is flanked right and left by an infantry officer c.1700
and an infantryman of a revolutionary demi-brigade c.1792. Both figures hold respectively with their right hands both hands of the central
figure; their left hands hold aloft a laurel wreath/sunburst above his head proclaiming the year 1916. Behind each 'ancien' there is

standard, which bears centrally the motif of the Phrygian cap of Liberty surmounting the Fasces.
