Formation badge on painted helmet
Greetings,
Forgive me if the answer is obvious to all but me: I ran into this painted helmet with what appears to be an applied decal. I have not been able to identify the insignia, however. Can anyone identify what unit is represented? Thank you, John

Marc is right, it is Irish Defence Forces and I think Western Command but I may be wrong with the formation because the key on the illustration I am looking at is confusing.
P.B.

It's a post-1956 Western Brigade, later call Western Command, badge on the helmet from the Irish Defense Forces. Worn into the late 1960's early 1970's. The Western Command no longer exists!

Something to do with "Connaught" I think?
