H-2372 RARE early 5TH Regiment helmet, showing
the first iterations of insignia use. Most of these were
discarded for newer helmets by the returning Marines. The
hole in the center was punched for wear of the EGA before
the 2ND Division had painted insignia. After the armistice
it was decided to add the Indian and Star. The initial order
for the 1ST Battalion was interpreted to be a red border
surrounding the star. That was quickly changed to be a
colored background shape and so the square was added.
Amazing history of Marine insignia use, all in one helmet!!
I have seen 3 others like this over the last 40 years. $1495$SOLD$ |

H-2370 Extremely rare American Field Service Drivers Cap,
which was worn by Driver E. B. Blue, who joined the AFS in
1917 and was assigned to the Camion Service as part of TMU
526. Camions carried weapons, ammunition and other trench
building supplies and as such were not allowed to wear the
symbol of the Red Cross, like the Ambulance Drivers used.
The AFS was short of badges and these Camion drivers were
issued older "American Ambulance" Badges with the Red Cross
and the words, "American ambulance" removed. This story was
communicated by the family of the Driver in the 1980s. $995 |
