[PAR] [TLE] Mk III helmet [SEP] The Mk III Helmet was a steel military combat helmet first developed for the British Army in 1941 by the Medical Research Council.  First worn in combat by British and Canadian troops on D-Day, the Mk III and Mk IV were used alongside the Brodie helmet for the remainder of the Second World War.  It is sometimes referred to as the "turtle" helmet by collectors, because of its vague resemblance to a turtle shell, as well as the 1944 pattern helmet. [PAR] [TLE] Brodie helmet [SEP] The Brodie helmet is a steel combat helmet designed and patented in London in 1915 by John Leopold Brodie.  In modified form it became the Helmet, steel, Mark I in Britain and the M1917 Helmet in the U.S. Colloquially, it was called the shrapnel helmet, Tommy helmet, tin hat, and in the United States the doughboy helmet.  Worn by Australians during WW2 and sometimes known as Panic Hat.  It was also known as the dishpan hat, tin pan hat, washbasin, battle bowler (when worn by officers), and Kelly helmet.  The US version, the M1917, was copied from the British Mk 1 steel helmet of 1916.  The German Army called it the "Salatschüssel" (salad bowl).  The term "Brodie" is often mis-used.  It is correctly applied only to the original 1915 "Brodie's Steel Helmet, War Office Pattern".
