Also, remember what kind of war it was. Trench warfare.  Painting your unit insignia would not really stand out as a target especially if the entire unit had their helmets marked the same way. When they got out of the trenches and ran or range walked across no mans land, a white star on their helmet, a pine tree, the red keystone etc etc  was the least of an infantry soldiers worries. They were targets no matter what. Not like fighting in a forest or a jungle.... where bright colors of any kind or uncovered white face with no cammo on it stands out like a beacon. If you have never seen it live, soldiers wearing cammo, if they dont wear gloves cover their neck and apply cammo face paint, particularly pale skinned folks.... Even though wearing a good cammo uniform, they stand out like sore thumbs in a forest environment. In WW1They were mostly flat out in the open. Exposed. So it didnt really make much difference. In my opinion....  

See above.

They werent exactly subdued... Just not painted all over. This 28th Division... bright red... Has a split chin strap to keep it on the  chin. Possibly combat or field worn? Its a giant guess unless it has a name and number. The keystone is on the side. That 37th engineers has a name and number in it. And its not overly painted, like the 3rd image just for example....

Subdued colors make sense. Especially in a combat environment 

Awesome helmets! 

So I can add 91st division to the pre armistice list?

Agreed, the basic or more subdued ones like the greens in the 91st and 4th and the basic reds in the 5th, 6th and engineer helmet are what were likely more used pre armistice.

Greetings,   Did some scrolling in the National Archives and found a handful of photos depicting men in the 66th FA Brigade that I had not seen before. Of note are these two shots:   General John Pershing and Secretary of War Newton Baker inspecting the 146th Field Artillery Regiment at Camp De Souge Bordeaux France, February 1918 National Archives, 111-SC-7816   A jovial gun crew belonging to Battery "B," 148th Field Artillery Regiment Taken near Vaux, France, July 22 1918 National Archives, 111-SC-16349 Best Regards, -J.D.

Hello everyone.   I am making this post, because like many others my family's military items have been lost over time.   If anyone has anything from a man in the army named "Edward C Bell" from WWII, that would be my great uncles.     anything from a man in the army named "Oliver Herbert Berg" from WWI, would be my great grandfathers.   and anything from a man in the navy named "John Mark Martin" from WWII, that would be my grandfathers.   if anyone knows where any items from these men are or have them, please let me know.   Thanks, Edward.

Thanks, Yes his History is Limited. Did find some school photos and wedding information. I will probably move the Harmon Wall into this room as it looks to becoming the Naval Aviator Room Capt Harmon Wall
