WW1 Chemical Warfare Service Helmets

[trenchbuff]

Thought I would post a couple helmets from my collection that illustrate the new face of warfare that came out of the First World War. First is a helmet ID'd to a Sergeant and has the typical Chemical insignia from WW1. Also included some insignia used by enlisted members of the 1st Gas and Flame Regiment.

This next helmet has a Chemical insignia that I've never seen before. It has the typical colors of that service and is ID'd to a Captain in the Chemical Warfare Service. I've also included the Gas and Flame Officer insignia.

Great helmets. I think most are aware of gas being synonymous with ww1. To see helmets tied to their units brings it home. Great helmets.

As a past member of the Chemical Corps I love seeing this. I'm constantly looking for items related to our part in the service. If you decide to part one day keep me in mind. Beautiful!!!

Is there a list for the Chem Corps units that were part of the AEF in France, or was it only the 1st Gas Regiment?

The OOB only lists the 1st Gas Regiment.
