The famous redcoats of the British were first adopted by Cromwell's Parliamentary Army in 1645, and red continued as the general British uniform color for more than 250 years until changes in warfare required camouflage clothing. The British still preserve their traditional red in the scarlet tunics and cloaks worn by the Foot Guards and Life Guards at state occasions. http://www.qmfound.com/Army_Green_Uniform.htm

The more things change, the more they stay the same. The equipment and weapons of soldiers have not really changed that much. Not really. The Poilus of the French army were no exception.
