This helmet was made on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge. 
Through a friend digger I was able to obtain a soil sample which I finished partly with white glass indicating the sheets that the American soldiers got from the people of Bastogne to better camouflage themselves in the snowy landscape. 
On the helmet I placed the sign 'Ace of Spades' as a tribute to the 501th parachute infantry of the 101st airborn division which held Bastogne in its hands despite great losses. 

The helmet is placed on a pedestal with the colours of the city of Bastogne blue and red and on a Howitser shell marked with the American star and the word 'SOUVENIR' (memory).
