WWI 26th Yankee Div. Co. I 101st INF Helmet, Named / ID'd to Pvt Romeo Gagner

[USMC-RECON0321]

Hello,

This helmet was part of a grouping I just acquired (I just posted the entire grouping in the Groupings category if you want to see the rest), But Because I mainly collect helmets, I wanted to post just the helmet here with more detailed pictures.

 

Sorry, I have a new computer and it's only letting me load one picture at a time until I figure out how to reduce the size further.

 

Thanks

Troy

Man, that thing is clean... awesome.

Thanks,

It looks a little bright in the pics due to having to use the flash inside.

I'm just used to most of my helmets being caked in almost a century of dirt!

Beautiful grouping! I am a real fan of nice WWI lids, especially with that kind of provenance and grouping. Great find.

O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo!

 

Do you know if this guy Romeo Gagner was a French Canadian? alot of French Canadians lived-live in New England.

I don't. I've had some luck getting WWI records in the past, so I'm going to try with him and see what comes back.
