US World War 1 Helmets

[Chris Boonzaier]

There are simply too many different ones for me to collect, but I have grabbed the odd one over the years...

Of course, the Verdun ones grabbed my eye.... very small unit, so extremely difficult to find....

A group to a (gulp!) Artillery officer with a strong Verdun connection. He was also within small arms range of the last US soldier killed at 10:59am on the last day of the war..

Is that cover original? If so what's it made of and is it US issue?

I believe I had posted this elsewhere but looks like it would fit here too.

Hi,

I dont think the US had covers. I am assuming it is cottage industry/Commercial? It is not really designed well... It was in an officers group...

I see what you mean.

That Dannevoux postcard on the site - was that where we went to the flea market? If so, it hasn't changed much from what I can remember.

Very possible... amazing what taring a road can do ;-)
