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.

Beautiful helmets. Thanks for remembering the men of these seemingly forgotten units.

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?
