What's that chick got around it's neck?
Can anyone provide any insight into either the object around the chick's neck in this French-built and flown Sopwith Strutter or the significance of the hatching chick motif? It seems like such an unlike insignia.
Is there perhaps some French expression being referenced? |

BTW, I've seen photos of the original in the datafile and the answer seems no clearer.

As near as I can tell the grey object on the chain is rectangular with a line thrugh the middle. I wonder what French "dog tags" looked like.
