AIF Posted 7 November , 2009 Share Posted 7 November , 2009 Does anyone have a wartime photograph showing the helmet cover with neck flap being worn? Exactly when did the neck flap first make it's appearance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tocemma Posted 8 November , 2009 Share Posted 8 November , 2009 Hi Lone Pine, I believe these were amongst the kit designed for the Mesopotamia campaign, so mid 1917 I would guess. Joe Sweeney will, I'm sure, have all the relevant dates for this. They seem to have made a limited appearance on the Western Front too, but not before late 1917 early 1918 I would have thought.

Krithia Posted 9 November , 2009 Share Posted 9 November , 2009 I agree, I lent a 1917 dated example that was included in the Haselgrove/Radovic helmet book. I have also come across photos of then being worn in Mespot and also Salonika circa late 1917 - 1918. A nice helmet, they always look good with the flap!
