Looking at the front of the helmet you can see where the material has faded around the badge. Definate signs of a maltese style cross surmounted by a victorian crown. Could this be KRRC? Did the KRRC wear a green cloth helmet as a rifle unit or am i reading too much into this. Thanks for the heads up Jeanpit.

Kind regards, Dave
