Forthcoming 'Helmets of the British Home Front' book? - British & Commonwealth Military Badge Forum

ARPCDHG · #1 03-07-18, 03:09 PM

I saw a leaflet today for a book called 'Helmets of the British Home Front' - by George and Adrian Blake. It says it will be the first book dedicated to the markings on non-military helmets used in Britain, with over 300 pages and over 1,000 helmets in full colour. If the range of rare helmets posted on the leaflet is anything to go by, it will be a cracking book. Does anybody know anything else about the book, such as when it will be published, price etc?

Where did you hear about the book ARPCDHG?

I know one of the authors and it has a few from my collection in it.

Due out soon.....

Had not seen the flyer but have seen a draft of the book - some of my helmets are in it - and would thoroughly recommend it. A superb and well-researched book.

Brilliant news - looking forward to it.

Could forum members update this thread when the publication date/price/order details are announced.

Thanks.

I have contacted the authors who tell me it's not yet published and no firm date yet. I will keep members posted.
