Helmets UK
Mike,
That I understood, but Helmet, UK is a descriptive term for an item of issue headdress during 1939-45 period. I suspect that the item is a Wolseley type helmet, which would fit with the manufacturer, but why use that as a descriptor instead of solar helmet, or Wolseley helmet etc. There must have been a specific difference between Wolseley helmets and Helmets, UK as all of the latter were withdrawn from service in West Africa but other solar helmets apparently remained in use.
Stephen.
