Hello everyone. This is my newest helmet. Can anyone help identifying the name inside the liner and maybe connect in any way to the USO? The helmet was published in " the m-1 helmet of the ww2 gi ". Thanks!

I’ve hit dead ends for a Ronald Roush and for a Robert H Rous.  The H is away from the rest of the name

Dean,  if that is the guy he would have had to receive a battle field Commission,  The list you have is for enlisted men. It’s a trail to follow for sure.

Agreed, but as you know it was not unheard of, 2 of my marine lids where made officers mid war

Awesome helmet!

 

This is the exact same one pictured on pages 312-313 in Pieter Oosterman's book "The M1 Helmet of the World War II GI", I knew it looked familiar.
