First Tin Hat

Just before going over the top
with the French army in 1914, the
nephew of General Adrian realized
that his soup bowl was still I'M
packed. So he fitted it into his
cap and damned it on his head.
During the action he was hit on
the head, and later woke up in the
hospital. The damage to his cap
was such that the surgeon con-
graduated him on the thickness of
his skull, and remarked that had
it been normal he would certain
ly have died. Then young Adrian
explained why he was still alive.
This incident made his uncle ex-
pertinent with the steel helmet,
which was first issued to French
troops under the name of LIE
casque Adrian" and was instru-
mental in reducing head injuries
by so per cent.
