This is a normal post Shortly after the fall of the Maginot line they realised Cyan was not a good colour for a foot soldier.

This is a normal post I remember at GCSE
being somewhat annoyed by two different GCSE history books giving me two different reasons for the blue uniforms of the French.

1. A hangover from the days of bright uniforms, imposing soldiers, etc.
2. A rather... interesting form of camouflage, camouflaging soldiers against the light blue background of the horizon, suitable for the flat terrain of Northern France/Belgium.

Considering the preferred colour of France is often blue, and that they later switched to brown/green I think I know which story I believe.
