Badge 177 - Francis Hyacinthe Auguste Guezennec
The original Cap badge was designed by Cpl Maurice Chauvet.
The early versions had an anchor on the left of the scroll and a star on the right, the later design 'dropped' the star in favour of two anchors.
The badges were individually numbered, Kieffer had #1, G Vourch had #2. This badge, #177, was issued to Francis Guezenner but was lost and replaced with # 310.
Not many badges still exist; the French Commandos had a habit of giving them to the young French girls...
