Very nice  :)
"The enemy? His sense of duty was no less than yours, I deem. You wonder what his name is, where he came from. And if he was really evil at heart. What lies or threats led him on this long march from home. If he would not rather have stayed there ... in peace. War will make corpses of us all."

French in this head gear.

 lol Excellent the text says that chinstrap was in black leather because the gendarmes wanted to abide by regulations as much as possible, even when wearing this. lol

That's for Indochina (Vietnam if you prefer) at the same period. I'm not sure that this headgear was worn by french troops in China. It seemed that they were happy with the british airpipe helmet.
