Question about a Fourragere

[VPEP]

Can someone tell me if this is a French or Belgian Fourragere? I just can't tell if its more red or more green and from what period is it from, is it pre or post WW2? I don't have any experience with these and I am trying to find a Pre WW2 one for a 2nd Division uniform. I hope someone can help.
Thanks in advance
Vic

Belgian WW2 service fourragère.

When I served in the 82nd Airborne Division 1958-61, we were entitled to wear the French Fourragere on our dress uniforms (temporarily) while we were assigned to the Division. While the Belgian Fourregere was awarded to certain units within the Division, it was not allowed to be worn temporarily. You had to have served with the unit at the time of the award.

Thanks for the conformation. My eye is just not trained enough with these things

I've noticed some have just a wool tab for the button, and others have what I can only describe as a trifoil type ornament on the end. What is the significance of that for the wearer?

Fourragère.

The tab is more WW1 (in blue cloth until the 30's) or WW2 (kaki cloth). The trifoil can be from WW1 to present. Here looks like french fourragère.

I think it has way too much red to be French- Croix de Guerre or otherwise.

Looks like a US made "Oorlogskruis" or Croix de Guerre -> Like ebj said they could wear this in some US units.

Belgian ones do have another style of manufacturing
