Helmet flash and badge outline

[High Wood]

Could anyone please identify the unit that this insignia represents?

Thank you.

First one seems RAOC?

Thomas,

many thanks for the update.

The red/black/red might relate to an Army or Command Troops unit, that being the standard staff armlet colours for those formations.

Thank you Keith. The other stencil appears to be a crude representation of the PoW's feathers with a title scroll and could possibly be an interpretation of the Welsh Regiment's cap badge.

I notice this helmet is now for sale as welsh home guard.

Just like buses it would seem;-

Note the vent holes on the side of this helmet which is not of course 1st World War vintage.

The one in the eBay link is presumably a HG helmet, the three holes stamped on either side of the rim showing it's a MkIIc (I think it's a MkIIc?) for home service.
Don't know about the originality of the insignia.

I never understand why anyone would sell their grandfather's stuff?!

[leigh kitchen]

It's eBay - people'd sell their grandmother's let alone granddad's stuff.

I also thought HG. How does this tie in with the earlier identification of the helmet flash?
