These inscriptions serve as a form of morale-boosting and a reminder of home, highlighting the soldiers' humanity in a dehumanizing environment. The helmets become a canvas for personal stories and a reflection of the soldiers' experiences and emotions during the Vietnam War.

What is the meaning of a rectangle symbol painted on the side of some World War 2 Marine artilleryman helmets above the ear?
US Forces wore TWO different steel helmets during WWII. The first one was called the "Brodie Helmet" OR the "Doughboy Helmet", modeled after the 1917 (British) steel helmets of World War I. They are "flying saucer shaped" steel helmets. They were of ONE PIECE construction (steel shell with liner attached inside). The second steel helmet, which was worn all the way up until the end of the Vietnam War in 1975 was the M-1 Infantryman's Helmet. This helmet is a TWO PIECE helmet (steel shell and a separate nylon/fiberglass/or other material helmet liner). The M-1 helmet entered US service in 1941, hence the nomenclature Model 1. It reached US Forces in the field in 1942. The M-1 Steel Helmet of WWII, the Korean & Vietnam Wars was REPLACED by the "new" Kevlar helmets of TODAY. The Kevlar FIRST saw action during "Operation Urgen Fury", the invasion of Grenada in 1983. During WWII, the US Army, US Army Air Force (there was NO US Air Force in WWII, the US Air Force was created in 1947), the US Navy...all wore their M-1 steel helmets bare or with a net over them. As GENERAL ISSUE, "Only" the US Marines wore cloth camoflage covers on their M-1 steel helmets. Since cloth is easier to WRITE on, and steel is NOT, most probably the Marine Artilleryman had written "graffiti" on his helmet. It was common (especially during the Vietnam War) for men to write on their helmets. Often times the GI's wrote their girlfriend's names, calendars, jokes, famous sayings (mottos), or their unit (Regiment) upon their camoflage helmet covers. A rectangle symbol could be his platoon. In some tank platoons in the Vietnam War, (examples:) a circle painted on the turret sides of five tanks (5 tanks per platoon) meant 1st platoon; a small rectangle might mean 2nd Platoon, and a triangle might indicate 3rd Platoon.
