Helmets
As far as possible, French patterns were retained. A large part of the CEF, particularly the 3e DIA, was given the 1926-pattern helmet (and motorised troops the 1935 pattern with its padded band). In units wearing the American helmet, a small French flag was frequently painted on the side of the M1 helmet, either the national flag (see Plate F4), or an 1804-pattern regimental colour (see Plate F1). In the 9e DlC, a colonial anchor was painted on the front. Although re-equipped with US uniforms at the start of 1944, the 1re DMI (formerly 1re DFL), retained the British steel helmet (often bearing a small painted tricolour or cross of Lorraine) as a reminder of their Free French origins; the tin hat helmets were replaced by Mls only at the end of 1944.
