The helmet without the label is direct vet bringback from a combat engineer in the 99th Inf. Div. The one with the label was mailed home by Pvt. Louis Waldron of Co. E, 413th Regt., 104th Inf. Div. ("Timberwolves"). His company commander won the Medal of Honor. Both are Luftwaffe, both named in the same green paint, both oversprayed chickenwire. The one without the label was bought from the buddy of mine who got it from the vet himself in Mississippi. The one with the label was found by me years later at the SOS in Tulsa. The pic is of Pvt. Louis D. Waldron, who mailed the helmet back to his dad in Rolling Bay, Washington.
