Who Was Exasperated ~ By 1917 Tin Model.

By DAVENPORT STEWARD Times Special Writer

FT. BENNING, Ga. July 16—

Those new “coal scuttle” steel hel-|

mets you've seen in pictures of U. S. soldiers, sailors and marines in combat kit exist because an army lieutenant got sick and tired of trying to balance on his head the un comfortable 1017 model A-1, or British style, “wash basin” helmet. ~ He was First Lieut. H. G. Sydenham, now 8 lieutenant col- : onel and chief of * the test section g| Lieut. Col. Syden- of the infnatry ham board here. Back in 1928, he became exasper-

So he made himself a paper helmet with a hatband scissored out of a discarded campaign hat, paint-

lightweight shell of paper with its snug-fitting hatband.

Major Envious A major finally caught up with | the lieutenant and, as the price of E | silence, made him manufacture a with satisfaction. In December, 1940, Lieut. Col. Sydenham, then a major, got the the army. The result was the new M-1, with its fiber inner-liner,

costs less to manufacture and, due to its lighter weight and inserted hatband to fit the individual soldier, is far more comfortable. Had he followed the old helmet as to thickness of steel, the M-1

dredths of an inch of good steel, if a little away from the head, would resist most of the indirect causes of casualties. The new helmet, already worn by thousands of U. S. fighters, is now in general production and soon all members of the U. S. armed forces will have them.
