I want to build a 120mm Infantry man about sept or oct 1944, I already know the he'll be from the 9th infantry; but I want to know if there were other markings say on the helmet to designate a man's company, I know that it was done on some helmets (101st; 501). the time frame and location would be the Hurtgenwald area any help would be greatly apreciated as this would be my first figure. Help
 
The 39th Infantry Reg definately had an unusal design on their helmets.
