This new edition of the reference work illustrates the wide variety of helmets worn by French soldiers and offers an insight into their development from the end of the 19th century to the present day. The overview of almost 200 objects focuses on the steel helmet, the highly symbolic headgear of the army, but also shows the variety of special headgear worn by cavalry and armoured troops, the navy, the air force, the fire brigade and, last but not least, the gendarmerie. This guide is a must for all lovers of French uniforms, collectors, figurists and military history enthusiasts. For connoisseurs, it will also offer the opportunity to discover rare, original or even unique helmets from private and public collections.
