Could France be WWII if it says "equipment militaire"

That might be a good fit. How did you get yours so clean, or did it come out of the ground like that?

Actually came out of the ground like that

I cleaned the button again, but the writing is now barely legible, but I think you're right. I've included your button as a reference, I hope that's OK? The only question that remains is how the button got onto the field...

... perhaps through captivity...

Yes, of course. You can use it as a reference. In the field where I found mine, prisoners of war were used to farm it. The farmer told me. Lots of uniform buttons were found in the field: Russia WWI, France WWIII, Prussia WWI, Kingdom of Hanover Post, Prussia Hussar uniform. Very interesting.

Very interesting. I'll try to get some information...
