Box of c.1918 Early 20th Century Military Collars

A recent eBay purchase of assorted starched linen military collars in an old box of a French brand of military collars.  Sizes are in centimeters, and the names are in French and English.  Most of the collars are straight bands and one is a curved band. This page has scans of the collars flattened out so you can use them to make your own straight or curved WWI military collars in these styles.

These are all band collars that button into the neck of a military tunic like this one seen on General Pershing c. 1918

It just forms a small edge in the interior collar, and meets in the front without buttoning closed.
