Hi all,
Myself and @Jasta6 thought it would be a good idea to start a new thread with with the WW1 historic regiment’s and squadron’s insignias, as emblems. This is due to the original post author going awol. I have gone through the previous thread (found here) and found all emblems loose within different posts. I ask the moderators to please be understanding and not delete this thread as a duplicate.
I would like to point out that neither me or @jasta6 are doing this to steal @Kirk40k idea or thunder. We’re simply making sure every emblem posted will be represented as it should for all to view. If you notice now, all emblems are under each corresponding faction and now easily viewable by manipulating the BB quotation code. You will also now find a history brief on each faction’s role during the Great War.

History:

BELGIUM:
History:
The history of Belgium in World War I traces Belgium’s role between the German invasion in 1914, through the continued military resistance and occupation of the territory by German forces, known as the ¯_(ツ)_/¯ of Belgium, to the armistice in 1918, as well as the role it played in the international war effort through its African colony and small force on the Eastern Front..Misc

AirforceWilly Coppens, Jème Escadrille de Chasse Belgium’s Ace of Aces, Willy Coppens was also the war’s undisputed champion balloon buster. Credited with the destruction of 34 observation balloons, and 3 German aircraft, Coppens became so adept at destroying balloons that the Germans tried to kill him by filling a balloon’s basket with explosives. When he attacked the balloon, it was detonated and Coppens narrowly escaped death. The flaming wreckage of the balloon then quickly fell on the German staff and officers watching on the ground, killing several of them and injuring the rest.

BRITAIN:
History:
The British Army during World War I fought the largest and most costly war in its long history. Unlike the French and German Armies, the British Army was made up exclusively of volunteers—as opposed to conscripts—at the beginning of the conflict.Furthermore, the British Army was considerably smaller than its French and German counterparts.Misc

CANADA:
History:
In 1914, Canada was a self-governing dominion of the British Empire, but it did not control its own foreign affairs. As during the South African War (1899-1902), the Canadian government would decide the nature and extent of Canada’s war effort, but legally the country was at war the instant Britain declared one. In 1914, most, but by no means all, Canadians would have agreed with the 1910 statement of Prime Minister Sir Wilfrid Laurier that “when Britain is at war, Canada is at war.Misc

FRANCE:
History:
During World War I, France was one of the Triple Entente powers allied against the Central Powers. Although fighting occurred worldwide, the bulk of the fighting in Europe occurred in Belgium, Luxembourg, France and Alsace-Lorraine along what came to be known as the Western Front, which consisted mainly of trench warfare. Specific operational, tactical, and strategic decisions by the high command on both sides of the conflict led to shifts in organizational capacity, as the French Army tried to respond to day-to-day fighting and long-term strategic and operational agendas. In particular, many problems caused the French high command to re-evaluate standard procedures, revise its command structures, re-equip the army, and to develop different tactical approaches.Misc

Charles Nungesser was the definition of the classic fighter pilot stereotype. He was placed under house arrest multiple times, usually for flying without permission and insubordination. When he wasn’t on patrol, he would often fly back to Paris to party the night away and would frequently show up at his airfield late the next morning still wearing the tuxedo he had been wearing the night before, occasionally with a female companion. He was France’s third highest ranking ace, with 43 victories.Escadrille 68 Squadron - Credits: @jasta6

ITALY:
History:
Italy fought mostly against Austria-Hungary along the northern border, including high up in the now-Italian Alps and along the Isonzo river. The Italian army repeatedly attacked Austria, making little progress and suffering heavy losses, and then being routed in 1917 by a German-Austrian counteroffensive after Russia left the war allowing the Central Powers to move reinforcements to the Italian Front from the Eastern Front.Misc

*Francesco Baracca, Italy’s Ace of Aces, with 34 aerial victories. Baracca unfortunately did not survive the war, but his legacy lives on. He used the prancing horse from his family’s coast of arms as his personal insignia on the aircraft that he flew. In 1929 his mother presented this insignia to Enzo Ferrari, suggesting that it would bring him luck. It has been Ferrari’s logo ever since.

RUSSIA:
History:
The newly formed Russian Republic continued to fight the war alongside Romania and the rest of the Entente until it was overthrown by the Bolsheviks in October 1917. Kerensky oversaw the July Offensive, which was largely a failure and caused a collapse in the Russian Army. The new government established by the Bolsheviks signed the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk with the Central Powers, taking it out of the war and making large territorial concessions. Romania was also forced to surrender and signed a similar treaty, though both of the treaties were nullified with the surrender of the Central Powers in November 1918.Misc

PORTUGAL:
History:
Portugal did not initially form part of the system of alliances involved in World War I and thus remained neutral at the start of the conflict in 1914. But even though the Portuguese and German governments stayed officially neutral for over a year and a half after the outbreak of World War I, there were many hostile engagements between the two countries. Portugal wanted to comply with British requests for aid and protect its colonies in Africa, thus clashes occurred with German troops in the south of Portuguese Angola, which bordered German South-West Africa, in 1914 and 1915.Misc

UNITED STATES of AMERICA:
History:
The United States declared war on the German Empire on April 6, 1917, during World War I. The U.S. was an independent power and did not officially join the Allies. It closely cooperated with them militarily but acted alone in diplomacy. The U.S. made its major contributions in terms of supplies, raw material and money, starting in 1917. American soldiers under General John Pershing, Commander-in-Chief (C-in-C) of the American Expeditionary Force (AEF), arrived in large numbers on the Western Front in the summer of 1918. They played a major role until victory was achieved on November 11, 1918 at 11:00am.Misc

U.S.M.C.*History:
*With the United States entry in to World War I in April 1917, the Marines sent two Regiments to France in the summer of 1917. In October 1917, the 2nd Infantry Division was activated when the U.S. 9th Infantry and 23rd Infantry Regiments joined the 5th and 6th Marines to form the 2nd U.S. Infantry Division.Before the division was formed the two Marine Regiments formed the 5th Marine Brigade. The Army’s 9th and 23rd formed the 3rd U.S. Infantry Brigade. The other half of the division the 5th and 6th Marines came under the 4th Marine Brigade.
The first commanding officer of the division was Marine Brigadier General Charles A. Doyen. On July 28, 1918 Marine Major General John A. Lejeune assumed command of the division, and would command the division until it returned to the U.S. in August 1919.*
