rob590ert Posted October 6, 2015 #201 Posted October 6, 2015 Some beautiful and collectible helmets over there. Displayed properly and pays perfect tribute to the men who gave the ultimate sacrifice wearing them.
Dogsbody Posted June 7, 2022 #203 Posted June 7, 2022 Some M1's that could been seen at the Musee Memorial D'Omaha Beach. Don't know if they are still there.

Right next to Gavin's helmet is this letter that gives the answer.........M-1 aficionados probably get too misty eyed upon encountering a special example and don't pay that much attention to its surroundings, 😄
everforward Posted June 7, 2022 #206 Posted June 7, 2022 Here is a 29th ID example that I snapped some pics of on my last trip to Normandy…….this one is at the Museé Omaha….
everforward Posted June 7, 2022 #207 Posted June 7, 2022 This one is in St. Lô, among the exhibits in the la Madeline Chapel just outside of town….
