Type "brassard communion solemnelle" in Google and see the images
Little girls wear short white capes. Advert says these accessories are "indispensable". Very natty! I presume that the armband was carefully stored until the next brother's First Holy Communion.

Main kind thanks for the information, which I must admit is new to me. Looking at the portraits of the three brothers, the armbands are indeed identical so presumably the same one  :)

I have now identified the three brothers as being Paul Leroux (1893-1983), Charles Leroux (1895-1973) and Robert Leroux (1897-1992).
