Depending on the shamrock colour it could also be Tyneside Irish

Looking at my photos of the IWM 1921 questionnaire returns I see the following
1st Bn RMF used a helmet marking that was “ shamrock painted green with white edging painted on front of helmet” 7th (S) Bn Royal Irish Regiment: “shamrock painted on the front of the helmet same size as worn on jacket (specimen attached) adopted Aug 1918. No covering on steel helmet” I dont see any other reporting unit call out shamrocks as helmet markings. I dont have the dimensions or an image for the 7 R.Irish shamrock. John |
