Registration Numbers of Vehicles used by the French
Foreign Legion
Nº d'immatriculation des véhicules
militaires utilise par la Legion Etrangere
Introduction
and Contact
This database contains the registration numbers of vehicles used by the French
Foreign Legion.
When known, It further indicates the unit, the period of use and the
geographical area where the vehicle was used.
The main objective of this database is to assist historians and collectors
placing photographs in a better historical context.
I do have a digital image of every indicated vehicle with the registration
number visible.
I plan to place some examples in the near future for those images not copyright
protected.
Additional information and comments are more than welcome, please send an
E-mail to:

The French military vehicle registration system
1922-1938
A décret dated 31.12.1922 redefines the
earlier rules for military vehicle registration.
It defines a small flag followed by 1 to 5 white coloured numbers on a black
background.
1938-1945
After 15 years the old system runs out of unique numbers. On 16.04.1938
an extension of the old system is introduced by adding the letter M in front of
the numbers. During the Second World War the letters P and K are introduced.
1943
Beginning of 1943, the Free French Army is mainly re-equipped with American
Vehicles.
The majority of these vehicles are given a registration number in the 400 000
series.
08.11.1944 the French War Ministry reorganises the system though without
changing the 400 000 series.
This war registration system is maintained until the beginning of 1947.
1947-1960
