... yes, it is... I know of the existence of the 1st Lancaster Mounted Rifle Volunteers after reading, a couple of years ago, the several essays regarding the unit that appear in The Journal of the Society of Historical Army Research from 1957 and 1958... there is a second article that also deals with the 1st Lancaster Mounted Rifle Volunteers and the unit that replaced them after their brief 22 months existence, the Lancaster Light Horse. I was also aware of the Garth Vincent sale, so when I saw this helmet, I snapped it up!
