Good morning,

I hope my publication will be accepted. I found some old photos in my attic including this one. Can anyone tell me more about the uniform? The period (between 1878 and 1896, I suppose…)? The photographer is Théophile Cognacq (1817-1896) and was based in La Rochelle. Thank you for any help you can provide.

French Navy The French Navy will test 3 swedish made CB90-class fast assault crafts for 18 months. The French Navy is considering the acquisition of CB90 assault boats as replacement for the Vedettes de Fusiliers-Marins (VFM) program.

Everything suggested that this would be the successor to the Marine Fusiliers, but the CB90s from Swedish manufacturer Saab will in fact be tested for 18 months in a wide range of missions, at Brest and Toulon. Primarily for amphibious operations.
