I thought I would add an M1917 medical helmet from the 26th Division that I just picked up from a forum member.

Here is a helmet that I used to own. FOXY-29 hospital apprentice sailor stationed aboard LST-400 off the coast of Utah Beach during D-Day. Looks like he only used it for the invasion. Excellent condition. It is now on display at a museum in Normandy.

This was worn throughout the war by CPhM Irving W. Buecher on the LST 230 (Normandy, D-Day) and later on the YSM 418 (Pacific, including Nagasaki).

PhM3/cJoseph V. Chatigny wore this helmet on June 6, 1944 as his ship, the LST 713, dropped men of the 500th Medical Collecting Company on Omaha Beach.

PhM 3/c Edward J. Scheld, a crewman aboard the USN LST 491, wore this helmet on June 6, 1944. His ship operated off Utah Beach ferrying wounded men from the beach back to England.

Recently found this one in an antique shop for $55 and couldn't pass it up. Technically civilian, but as per topic it is a "marked medical helmet." There's still cool stuff out there for those willing to look! Best ABN
