Default Attributed WW1 Wolseley Pattern Tropical Helmet

This Wolseley pattern helmet belonged to Pte Harry Greenaway 1st Bn Oxs and Bucks LI who served in Mesopotamia during the Great War. He recorded his travels on the inside of his helmet. The pagri patch once had a cap badge worn on it. A well travelled and soiled helmet.

Regards

Mark

An absolutely fantastic example Mark. I collect these helmets and finding ones with both cloth insignia and attribution is rare. Great find.
