One of the most recognizable features of the American &ldquo\;doughboy&rdquo\; in World War I is his steel combat helmet. The British Brodie helmet was patented in 1915 and a close variation of it became the M1917 helmet in the United States. After the war ended\, many soldiers began to paint their helmets with camouflage\, unit insignia\, or even maps and landmarks from places they&rsquo\;d been in Europe.
