Military Trophy - Soldier of the Belgian Army (Assault Fusilier Challenge) - c. 1960-1980

This historic statuette was traditionally awarded as a commemorative trophy or elite sporting prize during the famous « Challenge Fusilier d'Assaut » (or unit cup) within the Belgian armed forces, a regular event marking the life of infantry regiments (such as the Chasseurs Ardennais or the 12th of the Line) in bases in Belgium or within the Belgian Forces in Germany (FBA). A very beautiful piece of military art charged with collective memory and regimental history.
