WW2 US M1 named with marking

[super6th]

Hi all,

 

I just got this helmet and I have a question about the front and rear marking and maybe could you help me find more informations about the owner. W.M Wilber T-136140

I only know that "T-" mean "Flight officer"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Best regards

Do you have anymore information on the vet? Did you buy this from the family or do you have any idea where the vet was from? Maybe we can help track down his information.

 

Nice looking helmet!

I'haven't more information about the vet, the helmet has been found in France

 

I have searched on NARA and wwii memorial but i found nothing.

 

Thanks for your help

Interesting helmet, even without any info yet :thumbsup: Any idea what the "ALRS" means? And is the cross on the the top paint, or tape residue?

I just find his NARA record (Reserve Corps Records)

I really don't know what ALRS means, Air Landing Reconnaissance Squadron? Alternate Landing Rescue Strip?...

 

I think the cross is painted but has worn away, invisible if the shell is not wet.
