Those are "Fusiliers Marins" of the navy. Technically they are not marines but specialised sailors. The French Army had (and still has) a branch of actual marines: the "Troupes de Marine" (or "Troupes Coloniales" as they were renamed from 1900 to 1958) consisting of professional soldiers and volunteer conscripts (all Frenchmen) and native auxilliaries (like Senegalese Tirailleurs).
One regiment of Fusiliers-marins and twenty-nine of "Infanterie Coloniale" served on the Western Front in WW1.

Yes. I only had a picture of them named Fusiliers Marins. I guessed that they are marines. Mainly because Fusiliers Marins translation in Russian will be the Marines. I only knew that they served on the Western front and I thought that it would be nice to add them to the mod.
Thanks for info =)
