WW2, British Issue, Wolseley Pattern Helmet, 1942.

Was £95 now £80

Slightly tatty but sound, size 7, Wolseley Pattern Helmet, manufactured in 1942 by Moores of London. It still retains its silver foil liner, to help reflect the heat of the sun, but as is very common, is missing its leather chin strap.
The Wolseley pattern helmet was worn by the British Army from about 1899 to 1948 and described in the 1900 Dress Regulations as "the Wolseley pattern cork helmet" and was covered in a lightweight cloth with a puggaree.
Named after Garnet Wolseley, 1st Viscount Wolseley, it can be identified by its swept-back brim, providing greater protection from the sun than the old Colonial pattern helmet, becoming widespread among British personnel serving overseas.
