Infantry Type tanker helmet

[robinb]

I don't think that I have ever shared this helmet with the group. Just today I found the Comfo Respirator at an antique store so I had to put them together for a photo-op. My next quest is to find the correct head set for it. Probably not the R-14 type, so does anyone know for sure what type goes in the helmet?

Robin, three really great pieces, I love all that early war stuff along with the blue denims worn around that time, sadly a missed area of collecting for most people locally if it predates Normandy it's overlooked.
