I was stationed there as a Military Policeman 1975-76. I loved it! I still speak thai after all these years.

Great video! I recently bought a relic M1 with fixed bales, and there's no way I'd be able to find the heat stamp, however your tips about the shape of the bales and the punched dot helped me figure out that it was a McCord shell. Thanks again!

Hello, I liked your video, but you have a couple of serious errors that Id like to point out. The circle of large pillars are not radar and they were never used to assist the B52's at all. The large circle was a receiving antenna aray. Used bt the Army Security Agency to collect SIGINIT for the NSA. The antenna is called a FLR-9 and can be used to recv a wide range of frequencies for a direction of 360 degrees. I was stationed in Augsburg, FRG and worked at such a site for four years. ASA had one mission. That was to collect information for NSA. We had direct contact with them, and used to retransmit data to them every 10 minuites when the analists were able to break the coded messages we received. I hope this info will clear up things about you story... Wayne Miles

the pink ID card is the ferrang ID card. if you do it right you get it at the same time as the yellow home registration book. love the video it is very helpful as i am about to change from the marriage visa to the retirement visa. i have heard say that you have to prove the money comes from outside Thailand. is that the case?

Is that visor profile unique to the Schlueter made helmets? I ask this because I have a relic condition helmet, its a rear seam helmet, it's markings all rusted away, its side profile is exactly like my fixed bale, front seam Schlueter. It does not have the oval welds of a McCord.

Have the prices increased since this video?

I'D GO FOR THE BELL M.A.S.H. CHOPPER. GET IT BOXED UP! SHIP IT HOME. INTO GARDEN WITH IT. SIT AND HAVE A BALL!! DRESSED WITH THE ARMY GEAR ON!!😎😅👌👍

Where you shop

Whered she buy em?

I have a one star helmet i think it is an american helmet

Excellent, thank you. 👍🏻

Nope! you have (1) 1941 production "44D", 1942s start 85 to about 120, Janurary to March 1942. your 44D is October 1941

Great Video im doing a Saving Private Ryan M1 this weekend 1950 Danish Shell and a sadly plastic Liner

These Helmets are Impossible to Find in Australia

Some of the antennas were removed. I saw one like this at Clark AFB in the Philippines. In fact this is RDF radio directional finder station notice the very low frequency antenna VLF it might be used to locate the submarine to form triangular method together with the one in the Philippines and somewhere else like Taiwan.

Enjoyed the video. I have always wondered how officer rank insignia was affixed to helmets such as Gen Patton's stars? Glue? Welded? How? Does anyone have an answer? NOT the painted rank insignia, but the actual metal insignia.

When you look at this classic helmet, you realise just how awful-looking and impractical the British helmet was. What were we thinking? A deepish, upturned dish.

The last helmet you showed had MEDIUM written inside.

Deberías de hacer mas videos de esto, sería genial

After having seen your video I wonder if there are even M1 WW2 Helmets left that you don´t own!?!😝

Hi again

Waw! You boys from th US really do miss a lot of things!

12:58 It had nothing to do with radar.

I just bought a m1 helmet today believing it was from ww2 and found out it’s a west German 1990s m1 helmet lol

Cannot understand why I would live in a place surrounded by foreigners ? why even move to Thailand

OK...Where you came out of the tunnel, you arrived where the Classified Operations Building was located. That's the building that was destroyed. It contained the radio intercept, communications center and all other ASA Classified Operations. It also contained all of the KW26 and other encryption equipment that was used for the inbound/outbound transmission circuits. Seeing that is was the only Classified location on base, it was destroyed. And again, never any radar on base. And the plaque from the B52 Dispatch, was probably just a thank you plaque, since we allowed the Air Force personnel to use our Officers Club and other amenities that the Air Force base didn't have. The 7th had concrete air conditioned barracks, while the Air Force base had mostly quanson huts with no AC.

Was at the 7th RRFS for three tours. First two consecutively from 68-70. Then to Ft Hood for two months and back to the 7th for a 3rd tour. 1. There was never any type of actual prison established at the 7th. The closest any type of jail was a few miles down the main road, toward Udon, that was a Thai Police barracks. 2. There were never any aircraft on base at the 7th. All aircraft were at the Udon USAF Base. 3. There was never any type of radar set up on base. The large circular antenna was strictly for radio signal intercept and nothing else. The round building in the center held cabling and electronics to operate the antenna. The verticle antennas on base, were for encrypted radio transmission. 4. When I arrived in 1968, the operations building was nearly finished. All operations were still outside in vans. We, later, moved all operations into the new Operations Building. That is where the radio intercept and inbound/outbound teletype circuits were located. We had circuits to various locations in Vietnam and to NSA at Ft Meade. 5. The long tunnel you traversed was almost full of cabling that ran between the Classified Operations Center and the Round Building in the middle of the Intercept Antenna. 6. Basically, the only people allowed inside the Operations Building were ASA Personnel and all had top level security clearances. We never controlled any B-52's or any other aircraft. Again, all of that was done from the USAF Base, closer to Udon Thani. 7. If there had ever been an attack on the Udon area military bases, the USAF was under orders to protect the 7th RRFS before their own base, due to the classified nature of our Army base.

I was a Chinese Linguist there in 1972-1973 with the air force. It's a radio intercept site not a radar.

I have to do a 44th Battalion ranger helmet which if you look that up the helmet is painted yellow and black and then you have to paint the black tiger with the star. I'm not even going to attempt to do it I'm just going to see if I can hire someone to do it for me. Or have my dad give it a go I mean he paints houses so shouldn't be too different.

Nice. Hard to find nicer examples.

od7 straps sewn on were WW2.

Hello would you sell me one star for my helmet? Please. They are hard to find

Oh no... You missed the diving monkeys in the park. I lived in Kumphawapi for 3 years. If you go back, check them out.

How about 884E ?

etiquette is extremely important i love learning thai culture

Jeremy, do you have any Parish M1 army helmets? I have noticed that theres not really any videos on them. I have been looking for one but don't know how to look for one, or what to look for. You got a great haul on these helmets. Im glad to see a collector like you get them for the future

What kind of paint do you use? And where do you get it at? Such good work friend

I have an M1 helmet, Front seam with a number inside 921E any idea when this helmet was made I believe 1943, but by who

I think thats a 29 id insignia

I have a question how do i remove the helmet liner chin strap?

Do you have any German helmets from that shop?

Do you remember where in Nongkai? I've been to that city a few times and never saw that shop!

Was this a McCord or Sheluter Jeremy?

Jeremy, do you have more helmets than the liners? Good job on the helmet. I bet your son being 9 now really enjoys it. You're a great dad

Thank you so much Jeremy. You don't know how much your videos mean to me over here in the USA. I hope you keep putting out videos on the M1 helmets and I really enjoy watching when you go to the military surplus stores, all the amazing things from war. Im getting ok with the helmets thanks to you. Just know that you have taught me a lot, thanks

Mr Jeremy, I just wanted to say thanks for the info on the helmets. I really appreciate you taking your time to teach dummys like me about the helmets to where i can understand it more. Thanks and God bless mate
