    The rank is of a Sergeant in the United States Army. As for the liner being in Normandy in 44, well I guess anything is possible but highly unlikely. Nice liner.

    Just for clarity in case of language differences this is a WWII era liner for a US M1 steel helmet and not the helmet itself.
    Nice liner.

    I see my goof up thanks John for the correction. You have to keep an eye on me and my typing.

    If you look at the top of the inside of the liner you should see a makers mark. If you hold it upside down like a bowl it should be dead center bottom. That should help date it .

    Marty, you explained the item to a tea but I thought the issue maybe large than the item itself. You have a lot more knowledge than I.

    As explained above the chevron is for a Sergeant. The text, I would assume, is a name.. Kennersy?
    A nice liner. They are not often seen with names clearly stencilled as above. In my experience, they appear mostly on NCO liners; perhaps they were put on there for training or mustering purposes. Regards.
