Not a para helmet but a despatch riders helmet. Same shell but different liner and chin strap.

The Sgt has no formation sign, but the gamin in the helmet is sporting a medal ribbon! Mike

It appears this picture was discussed years ago on the WW2talkforum.
Then it was suggested that Sgt Instructors wore trade badges this way? http://ww2talk.com/index.php?threads...2/#post-436140 Rob |

I'm pleased with this new purchase, the backing appears very dark blue or black.
Could it be RN or Royal Marines? Rob |

A new purchase, Feb 25th 1946, No2 Depot C.A.?
It appears that this Driver Mechanic may have been entitled to the "C" trade badge? Also interesting that a class C Driver Mechanic was only the equivalent of a Mechanics helper which doesn't sound very impressive. Rob |
