Painting on M1 helmet WWII
« on: March 23, 2004, 08:21:19 PM »
I was watching Private Ryan and noticed that some of the guys had markings on the back of their helmets.  Can you tell me what the different markings mean, and which I might have if I was a platoon seargant (or captain, I dont know **** about ranks).  My grandfather was in charge of a platoon in Italy and North Africa.  Im trying to figure out which marking he might of had, or which one I should go with.
