The fourragère - a military award that distinguishes military units as a whole - is worn by the 5th and 6th Marine Regiments. They were awarded the fourragère for earning the Croix de Guerre with palm leaf three times during World War I.
The fourragère was first adopted by France before the Netherlands, Portugal and Belgium followed.

Were there any battles in World War I where both the US Marines and French Foreign Legion were present?
I don't think so. There were only two regiments of US Marines who saw action in France, the 5th and 6th Marines. US WWI divisions had four regiments - there were two brigades to a division, and each brigade had two regiments. The Marine Brigade, made up of the 5th and 6th Marines, was one half of the US 2nd Division, the other brigade being two army regiments. There were two other Marine regiments sent to France, but they were used mostly as a source of replacements for the Marine Brigade of the 2nd Division. Inter-service politics prevented the formation of a Marine division. Plus the Marines did suffer heavy losses so perhaps the use of the other two regiments as a replacement source was sensible. At Belleau Wood and Blanc Mont the 2nd Division was under French Corps command, but there were no Legionnaires in the order of battle. The 2nd Division also took part in St Mihiel and the Meuse-Argonne, but those were mostly all-American battles.
