Default Brecknockshire FSH & Puggaree
Visited the St. Albans Museum today, and spotted the Wolseley helmet shown below.

The cap badge at the front is Brecknockshire, and appears to be an OSD. The flash on the left side of the puggaree is very faded and discoloured. Would anybody know if this flash is correct for Brecknockshire, and what its colours (when not faded) actually are?

With thanks,

JT

Evening.

Pagri flash is correct and would be green/white/green.

Helmet looks like the one (probably the same) that DNW sold from the late Llewellyn Lord collection back in Sept 16.

There's a photo on eBay at the moment (well, there was yesterday) of a group of Brecknockshires with FSH bearing what looks like the same flash and possibly metal badges to the front.

I just don't see the connection of the helmet to St. Albans.

Thanks Leigh. I think this must be the eBay listing you refer to:

I missed this when it was posted, a lovely and very desirable sun helmet
