Color still would be best. Hard to find material on the web. I know the helmet was a khaki painted Model M26 Adrian helmet with a Pattern37 service badge, but beyond that???

Anyone know?

Claven, I dont know much on the subject, but Id imagine French troops stationed in Europe and ones in North Africa would have different colors. Now by pre 1940, do you also mean post 1918?
 
Thanks for the link. Yes, I do mean post-WW1. Actually, post 1926 or so. Before that, they Poilu wore the Pattern 1915 Horizon Blue uniform. After that (approximately), the infantry wore Khaki. I just can't find any info on the khaki uniform the French wore beore being over-run by hte Germans.

I tried maybe finding period images of Magint Line guarisson troops thinking that might help, but couldn;t find any detailed pics of their uniforms... grr...
