US Army M1 steel helmets were not issued with cloth camo covers as were the US Marines fighting in the Pacific, during WWII. Consequently, soldiers didn't do to much writing on steel. The common thing was to paint their division patch on the sides of the helmets (1st Infantry Division, 3rd ID, 4 ID, etc.).

In Vietnam, the US Army began, for the first time, issuing cloth camo reversible covers for the steel M1 helmets. At this time US Soldiers began writing graffiti on their helmets.
