Click here to hear more hidden Army marches: This one is Music of Service - "Old soldiers never die..."From Belgium: Searching for WWII Signal Corps Army Photographer Helmet

From an eMail recently received:

I am desperately trying to find a photo of a M1C helmet of a signal corps officer during WW2. I am a re-enactor wearing the uniform of a 82nd Airborne paratrooper with the "US Army Photographer" shoulder badge and "Photographer" cloth patch. I am willing to purchase a helmet but I cannot manage finding such dedicated helmets (I think it was a M1C with the yellow marking "Photographer" in front of the helmet. 

Could you please tell me where I could find photos of photographers wearing such helmets ?

I was told that some helmets were modified for photographer in the US army during WW2, is it true ? Could I see a picture of this ? 

NB: this is my photo website: http://www.warmuseums.net 

Thx for your help! 

Best regards \ Bien vous \ Met vriendelijke groeten

News FlashPictures Needed Of Your OCS Class

When you do a search on this site for a member of your OCS Class, you end up on a web page with a table showing the list of class members for your class, and their current status. The bottom half of most pages is blank. We want to fill it with pictures of the people in that class. If you have candid pictures of class members, especially if they were taken while you were in OCS, please send them to us. We will post them on your class' page. Be sure to give us a little background on your pictures, so that we can properly label them. If you have any good pics, take them down to your local drug store and ask them to scan them at 300 dpi to a file. Attach your file to an eMail, and send it to us at WebMaster@ArmySignalOCS.com. Be sure to tell us the Class Number, identify the people in it, and tell us a bit about the setting, date, and anything else you can remember. Both we, and your classmates, thank you.
