Some beautiful and collectible helmets over there. Displayed properly and pays perfect tribute to the men who gave the ultimate sacrifice wearing them.

Some M1's that could been seen at the Musee Memorial D'Omaha Beach. Don't know if they are still there.

Ian or others, what is that thing on the side of Gavin's helmet ? is it a Insignia of some sorts ? it almost looks like a VII Corps Patch type crest.

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, 😄

Thank you, yes, then it would be a VII Corps Patch Type Crest applied there, wonder if it is on both sides of helmet.
