What do two lines mean on the front of a second world war American helmet?
The US Military M-1 steel helmet was used by the US Air Force (part of the US Army during WW2), US Marines, US Navy/Coast Guard, and the US Army during WW2, the Korean War and Vietnam War. During WW2 & Korea, the US Army steel helmet was worn WITHOUT a camoflage cloth cover; but sometimes with a net to place natural vegetation into the openings for camoflage. US Marines were issued camoflage cloth covers for all 3 wars. Because US Army rank could not be pinned (attached) to the Army's steel helmet it could be painted on. One vertical line gold/yellow for 2nd LT, silver for 1st LT, and two vertical silver lines for CPT (Captain). During the Vietnam War those gold/silver colors went to "black", called "subdued colors." The Vietnam War was the FIRST war in which the US Army issued the camoflage cloth steel helmet covers for general issue to ALL US Army personnel. Subdued (black) rank could now be pinned/attached to the front of those helmets (attached to the cloth).
