He served with the 273rd Infantry Regiment with the 69th Division. He was among the first Americans to meet up with the Russians on German soil. He served with the 69th for 37 months. He survived the battle of the bulge. He also was an explosives expert and helped clear the famed Siegfried Line. He was awarded the Bronze Star. He also served in the reserves in the Korean War.Helmet comes with notes from original collector and an obituary. No size on liner. It is named, but I am not sure of origins
