I don’t think that’s a GI. The helmet isn’t American...possibly French(?)

If he is French, then that would explain a lot!

The helmet also caught my eye. When the Allies invaded Europe
in ‘44 the French contingent was supplied by the US including
helmets, I believe.

Identified elsewhere on the ‘net as French from WWII. Nothing definitive however.

I would bet on Italian during Ethiopian campaign.

If they’re French, they’re probably retreating.
