The Rooster Posted March 1, 2019 Share #1 Posted March 1, 2019 Greetings all! Im a wing collector mainly. This forum has so many topics and I found the helmet section and thought I'd post mine. These two have been in my memory since I was around 3 years old. The Brodie is my Grandfathers helmet that was issued to him in France during ww1. He was a clerk on General Pershings staff. He lived good and ate good. I asked him about it. Never in combat with his typewriter! Could be why I exist..... Ive got his photo albums. He met my Grandmother in France and one of the pictures my Grandmother is dressed up in his gear.. Helmet gas mask and uniform. Funny stuff from 100 years ago!

The Rooster Posted March 1, 2019 Author Share #2 Posted March 1, 2019 The second is a ww2 liner. I always thought it was my Dads. He was in at the tail endof ww2. But he says now that he never made T Corporal so I dont really know. But Dad is 91 now and his memory is not the best. Its made by MSA. and has a number 21 over the MSA Logo. Thank you.

MattS Posted March 1, 2019 Share #3 Posted March 1, 2019 Thanks for sharing! If you have access to your dad's WW2 paperwork, see if his serial number ended in 5412. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaptonIsGod Posted March 4, 2019 Share #4 Posted March 4, 2019 If you don't have access to his paperwork, you can also search his name in here and get his enlistment record Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
