		The M15 Adrian helmet (French: Casque Adrian) was a military helmet issued to the French Army during World War I. It was the first standard helmet of the French Army, and was designed when millions of French troops were engaged in trench warfare and head wounds became a significant proportion of battlefield casualties.
		The helmet adopted by the army was made of mild steel and weighed only.765kg (1lb.11oz.), which made it lighter than the contemporary British Brodie helmet and the German Stahlhelm.
		Helmets were among the oldest forms of combat protection, and are known to have been worn by ancient Greeks, Romans, throughout the Middle Ages, and up to the end of the 1600s by many combatants.
