US M1 Helmet in WWII Canadian infantry

[Waycool]

Hi Crewman

Yes, I thought it was odd in Martin's Biography he specifically mentions the US helmets at a jaunty angle on The Chaudaries. He went on to say something about the section of the Chaud's feeling no pain as they got into some liqour somewhere.

On a side note Crewman I met a veteran of the Polish 1st Armoured Division recently in my home town of Windsor, Ont. he was a tank driver said, not sure of the regiment though his surname is Vilk or WIlk if I remember correctly. We have a fairly large Polish community and a Polish Veterans Assoc. local.
