    Default Side / Garrison cap age?

    Hi

    I have just acquired this French side cap. It’s wool and was in rag order when I first got it but have cleaned it up gently. No holes and is stamped inside (see pics). It’s army but I’m unsure on Corps or age. I have been advised French Medical Corps for a pte soldier, is this correct?

    Also the stamps with any likely age numbers on are slightly worn. I can make out: 19 11 56 in the lozenge between the 2 diamond stamps. Also in the middle rectangle stamp there is: something something 36?

    Can anyone enlighten me as to its age please?

    Many thanks

    Embarrassingly, the caps date is the ‘19.11.56’ stamp. Doh ! But I cannot link it to any branch of the French army through the internet. I have however found one similar online labelled as a French foreign legion Infantry side cap?

    I’m pulling my hair out with this one. Any help would be amazing.

    Many thanks

    Yeah I’ve just been advised it could be police. But the inside of the cap says Armee.
