French helmets in WW1 were known as the Adrian helmet, named after the designer, August-Louis Adrian. It was introduced in 1915 and quickly became the standard helmet for the French Army, replacing their previous cloth caps.
The Adrian helmet was made of steel and featured a distinctive crest down the center, which helped deflect blows from above. It also had a wide brim to protect the face and neck from flying debris.
The helmet was produced in different sizes to fit individual soldiers, and it was painted blue-grey to match the uniform. The helmets were often personalized with unit insignias, regimental numbers, or individual markings.
Overall, the Adrian helmet was a significant improvement over earlier French headgear and contributed to reducing casualties by protecting soldiers from head injuries.
