MWalsh Posted April 9, 2020 Share #1 Posted April 9, 2020 Thought the armor helmet and steel helmet collectors might like seeing these pics. The armor one speaks for itself. The group photo of the men in the steel helmets, they are in front of a large trailer, maybe communications men? Not quite sure what their helmets say, but I sort of think rank and then their last name. Seems like PFC is visible on one of the helmets, and perhaps something like T5 on some of the others? Just not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GITom1944 Posted April 10, 2020 Share #7 Posted April 10, 2020 Names on helmets? The guys in the second photo are all wearing helmet liners. It looks like it was taken during WW2 era stateside training. Names on liners was common. Cool photos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BILL THE PATCH Posted April 13, 2020 Share #11 Posted April 13, 2020 It actually looks like tape, or maybe the paint was applied very thick. Sent from my moto g(7) play using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpstout Posted April 15, 2020 Share #19 Posted April 15, 2020 I agree, Tom. Just a M1 liner with tape front to rear, held at an angle with underlying shadowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Boban Posted April 16, 2020 Share #23 Posted April 16, 2020 Here's one of my favorite. I didn't save the caption unfortunately, but if memory serves, this photograph was taken in Italy in May 1944, minutes after their tank was destroyed.
