Les Dillon was issued a M1 Helmet after the U.S. military updated its technology in preparation for the liberation of Hawaii in 1943. Dillon complained that his new helmet resembled a pot or a "footbath". He had worn the original M1917 for 25 years in military service and saw nothing wrong with it. Despite Dillon's misgivings, he soon discovered that the M1 covered more of the user's head.

  • The '''M1''' was the standard helmet used by the United States during World War II and for many years afterward. It was also used by Canada to avoid friendly-fire with US troops because of the Japanese helmets being visually similar to the Canadian Mk II Helmet Even though it was not exactly necessary, a lot of soldiers preferred to have netting on their M1 helmets.
