Named M1917A1 Kelly Helmet to C. C. Teague L Company 167th Infantry. Obviously he was fearful someone wouldn't know this was his helmet or he was just really happy to try out his new name stamp!

167th Infantry, 31st Division, cool, more research from our research pros are in order I think, probaly an original Alabama National Guardsman.

Very nice example! Always amazes me how many times these type helmets were passed around/reissued, this one looks to have had three owners at least! The unit marking is a very nice touch.
