Photos with Japanese Army Sun Helmets

Rare group photo.

It seems they are wearing Type 1930 army sun helmet.

Details.

 

Japanese troops with type 1938 army sun helmets, part of the first contingent of reinforcements sent under the Franco-Japanese Joint Defense Protocol, await orders to advance, near Saigon, French Indochina, 1 October 1941.​

 

An impressive variety of headgear.
