Ed, You have been posting up some beautiful helmets.

Thanks, I can take no credit for what they look like-the veterans are the original owners and the ones responsible for all we collect today (and I didn't "make" them like Easy Green or the random fakers so often seen now)...I'm just showing them for the first time since I added them to my collection... I'll have a few more posted when I can get to them...Have to get some Airborne helmets out as well. Ed

Ed....surely you must be running out of space to store these old clunkers! For a small monthly storage fee, I will be happy to appropriate, and store this surplus for you!

Mike, he is deceased unfortunately , but he mentioned landing infantry on the beaches and I assumed it was smaller landing craft. Ed
