This helmet was worn by Staff Sergeant William Wee Willie Battle
1st Battalion, 27th Infantry, 25th Infantry Division.
He served from July 1969 until June 1970.
He was a platoon Sergeant and tunnel rat.
 
The Death Card or Ace of Spades was considered bad luck by the Viet Cong.

VISIONS OF THE VIETNAM CONFLICT
 
"THEY DANCED WHILE WE DIED" Quoting Robert Weiss



 

THE BANNER ABOVE IS SO WELL DONE THAT I WANTED TO MAKE SURE IT IS SEEN BY AS MANY PEOPLE AS MIGHT VISIT THIS SITE AND WANT TO SEE SOMETHING ABOUT THE VIETNAM CONFLICT. IF ANYONE CAN TELL ME WHO DID THE WORK, I WOULD GET PERMISSION TO LEAVE IT HERE AND GIVE THEM FULL NAME IN ORDER AS ARTIST.  IT IS WONDERFUL WORK. I WILL REMOVE IT IF REQUESTED - HERE TOO WITH REGRET.
