All allied servicemen in Vietnam wore or had available to them the US Army M1 steel helmet, used since WW2. Of which approximately 1 million more were produced in about 1967 to supplement the nearly exhausted WW2 supply (over 20 million steel helmets were produced during WW2). The NVA (North Vietnamese Army) used the factory made Pith Helmet, which was covered with green canvas and had a leather chin strap. The most sought after "war souvenir" NVA pith helmets were the ones with red stars attached to the front of them. NVA, like their US counterparts, wrote griffiti on their helmets; one common writing on their helmets, written by NVA draftees (Hanoi drafted their men too) was "Born in the North, died in the South."
