US WW2 France Lanyard. French Fourragere.

American WW2 French lanyard, issued by France in WW2 to the US Army forces.

The French Fourragere lanyard was issued in several variation colours depending on when it was issued (WW1 or WW2) and how many times a unit was issued it.

This French Fourragere lanyard that we sell is the most common one awarded in WWII to American troops, it is the 1942 - 1945 for 2 citations.

The French lanyard was worn by US troops that had been mentioned in Army Dispatches twice during the liberation of France in WWII it was worn on the US Army four pocket A Class tunic and the Ike jacket.

World War Two units that are allowed to wear the French lanyard include: 1st Inf Div, 2nd Inf Div, 82nd Airborne Div.

WW2 lanyards are worn over the left shoulder of the dress uniform, there seems to be no official way of wearing more than one lanyard on WW2 uniforms, but it seems that two could be worn on the left and if you wear awarded 3 the third one was worn on the right shoulder.<
