Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Helmets and Body Armor in Modern Warfare The present book aims to consider the virtues and failings of helmets and body armor in modern warfare. To this end it brings together materials collected from all accessible sources; it shows the kinds of armor which each nation has been using in the Great War, what practical tests they will resist, of what materials they are made, and what they have done in saving life and limb. As an introduction to these headings there has now been added a section which deals with ancient armor; this enables us to contrast the old with the new and to indicate, in clearer perspective, what degree of success the latest armor may achieve in its special field. The results of our inquiry will show: (1) That the helmet has been adopted as part of the regular military equipment of many nations. (2) That helmets and body armor have been found, in broad averages, of distinct advantage to the wearers. (3) That body armor, in spite of the protection which it affords, finds little favor with the soldier. For numerous reasons, he would rather take his chances of injury. (4) That effort should be made, none the less, to demonstrate more clearly the protective value of body armor, to improve its material and design, and to reduce to a minimum the discomfort which will always be experienced by its wearer, - in a word, to meet the objections to the use of armor which have been brought up on the sides both of theory and of practice. In preparing the following pages I have sought and secured aid from many sources. I am most of all indebted to the Department of War of the United States, for access to documents and materials as well as for permission to make use of them in publication.

The lateral flanges then, at least in one model, project upward and form ornamental processes suggesting the wings of the hat of Hermes! Two ornaments appear on this helmet; the first is a repousse scroll centering on the point which pivots the visor, the second is a Swiss cross embossed on the forehead. The lining is detachable by means of a clasp; it is held on a carrier made of rattan which has a circular brow-band and above it two intersecting arches; at their point of intersection a small cushion is placed which supports the main weight of the helmet. The brow-band of this carrier is provided with pads or cushions which alternate with spaces in order to insure comfort in wearing. The cushions are arranged in separate pockets and can be stuffed to fit the size of the individual head--a type of cushioning well known in the German lining. The chin-strap is also similar to the German. It is said that the cushioning of this helmet is elastic and that it resists adequately the shock of a blow. The present helmet is criticised as being badly balanced and this may well be the case; for the visor extends far in front of the helmet and would naturally cause it to tilt forward when in use. Also, it is noted that the perforations ot the visor are so numerous that while tending to restore the balance of the helmet, they notably diminish its value as a defense. The ornaments on this helmet are also regarded as undesirable. A model embodying suggestions tor a Swiss helmet is said to have been made by M. Dunand in December, 1916. It was sent to Switzerland and on February 17 it was returned to the French inventor. Shortly thereafter, the helmet described above appeared as the design of Charles le Platenier of La Chaux de Fonds. Be this as it...
