Hello everyone! I am just wondering if anyone has pictures of a WW1 6th Marines helmet. I saw one a while back that had initials and was pretty neat. But since then have not seen any. Please correct me if I am mistaken but aren't the 6th marines the ones depicted in the famous Belleau Wood photo of the marines running through the mustard gas. Thank you.

Below is an example of the helmet I am talking about and the picture of the marines in Belleau Wood.

Here is the one in my collection. It is also the example that appears in the excellent reference Equipping the Corps by Tulkoff. Came originally from the Bob Queen collection and he acquired it directly from the veteran several decades ago, so it is also identified. Kevin
