WW1 French M15 Adrian Helmet With Commandant Named Souvenir Plaque

An M15 Infantry Adrian helmet with brass ' Soldat De La Grand Guerre 1914-1918' souvenir plaque named to a 'Commandant Jacquier' ( Rank of Major ) on the front peak.
Helmets of demobilised officers & other ranks were officially decorated with the brass 'Soldat De La Grande Guerre 1914 - 1918' (Soldier Of The Great War 1914-1918) souvenir plaques as of 16th April 1919 & were issued by the state of France as a recognition of service. Some were named at the soldiers expense as is the case here where the officer has had it engraved with his name & rank. This perfect display piece has a very high percentage of its original factory blue paint to exterior with flaming grenade badge secured to front for infantry troops. Interior has multi construction brown leather liner seen from 1916 with early iron blue cloth used in the construction of its band . Corrugated metal air vent strips & intact black painted steel buckled chinstrap present.
Certainly a helmet with research possibilities the helmet apparently displayed in his home for many years after the war until his death.
