       Wrong way round, chronologically.  I put the Post-war to the left of the War-time; WAZZACK.
       Interesting to note that they changed from a State to a Republic.  I was aware of the "Liberté égalité fraternité" from the mists of history (School) I didn't know, and haven't checked to see if   "Travail famille Patrie" = "Work Family Homeland" was only War duration or from the start of "the Republic"  I'll have to have a decko.
       SO! - I did:-
"Travail, famille, patrie  English: Work, family, homeland) was the tripartite motto of the French State (usually known as Vichy France) during World War ll. It replaced the republican motto, Liberté ,egalité , fraternité  of the Third French Republic."
