As a boy my family were great friends with a retired Scots Guardsman. I remember him showing me pictures of himself with other Guardsmen sitting on top of the Sphinx in Egypt during the 1920's, they were all wearing solar helmets with Pagri badges. The pictures were in the Scots Guards Association magazine/booklet; dated early 1970's. I think the article was about the 2nd SG's tour of the Middle East. If anyone has a copy I would be very interested to see it. I wonder if anyone else has Reg Ass booklets showing solar helmets being worn?
Happy hunting Dave Moore
