    God knows how many brits filled that helmet with stew or soup.
    I mean just look at it, this is just a reinforced dinner plate!

    In my mind this is one ofthe most iconic helmets in war history

      Matt Wells I agree this helmet is present a lot in little things like movies as well. The helmets are like a symbol of WWI in my opinion (I do live in Britain which may explain it)

    • @kiliwami4086

      Matt Wells if I think of war helmets I think of the German m15 or later models

      Kili Studios crazy thing is (for me at least) I never knew the helmet was in ww1 until just a couple years ago :P I always thought it was just the pickelhelm (may have misspelled it)

    Brodie: I just “invented” a new military helmet

    It's shallow design was pretty good for trench warfare. Most of the shrapnel, and debris flying around was above the soldier, and coming down. The rim helped protect the shoulders. When lying prone, and looking or firing forwards, the head is tilted up, this design won't dig into the back of the neck.

    I had one of those as a child. It had some rust damage on the rear rim but was otherwise pretty fit to serve. Mine was matt OD with crushed walnut.

    I would like to see these videos play as a *series.*
    I'll pick today's video as an example. It starts out talking about the development of the British Brodie Helmet, but finishes by touching on how it was adopted by U.S. soldiers. I feel this can be continued into a follow-up video about the U.S. helmet development, with a compare/contrast to the helmets of other combatants, both Entente and Central powers.

    My great grandfather fought in ww1 in the canadian army. He told to my grandfather that when he received the new brodie helmet he tought it was a plate to eat but he rapidly realised that it was a helmet. He said it was ugly and uncomfortable but he always said "ça fesait la job" which can be translate by "it was getting the job done". He had a happy life and died in the 1990s at almost 100 years old. What a great man.

  • @piobmhor8529
    @piobmhor8529 5 років тому +2

    The Brodie pattern was used in the Canadian Army up until the late 1960’s. I remember my dad wearing it when he was in the Militia. It was replaced by the American styled steel helmet of the WW2-Korea-Vietnam era which is the one I wore. I heard the old timers talk affectionately about their old Brodies and how much heavier the “new” ones were.

    • @piobmhor8529
      @piobmhor8529 Рік тому +1

      @@sadjosh3545 in Canada, what we call the Militia is our Army Reserve. They are in fact members of the Armed Forces of Canada. I assume that you’re probably from the United States where the Militia means something totally different, such as armed citizens formed into voluntary groups that are not part of the Regular or Reserve Army.
