Lancashire Fusilier Posted 25 November , 2013 Share Posted 25 November , 2013 After a major engagement, there must have been scores of them lying around all over the place, as you say, absolutely rank and yet the shell would remain re-serviceable. David David, The British Army did salvage a Battlefield for equipment, including collecting helmets, as is evidenced by the attached photograph, which is captioned as " troops collecting items of kit, clothing and rifles which were strewn around after a battle at Bapaume, these items were salvaged from those who no longer needed them... the dead " LF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AH28TH Posted 28 November , 2013 Share Posted 28 November , 2013 Found what appears to be a picture of a BURYS stamped helmet still wearing its original brush applied khaki paint. Barley visible is 0 16 and the laying lion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRANVILLE Posted 28 November , 2013 Share Posted 28 November , 2013 That's another one alright! To me it looks as though there might just be another letter just off to the upper left of the '0' - possibly a 'D' as per the other helmet posted about?

bu6512 Posted 29 December , 2013 Share Posted 29 December , 2013 (edited) Hi All, I have an early magnetic raw edge brodie converted for civil defence use in the 1930's. I am about to restore it back to its former glory but I was wondering what your thoughts are on the bales, to me they don't look like first or second war?

vmfa314 Posted 5 January , 2014 Share Posted 5 January , 2014 Hi all I am looking to restore a US 1917. So what is the best color to use to paint it after its been stripped and the dents gently knocked back out? Also which would have been more widely used on the 1917's for texture Sand, Sawdust or Cork? I have recorked WW2 M1's before so I understand how to do that. This would be my first foray into a WW1 helmet. Mack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted 29 October , 2017 Share Posted 29 October , 2017 Several years ago, I purchased a Brodie Helmet with a Miris Logo and an LS - 18 stamp. It includes the liner and leather chinstrap. Overall great condition. Apparently, there has been some confusion over the LS stamp on Brodies. Mine clearly has a Miris logo stamp, to the left of the LS 18. In addition, it has the Red War Office stamp, inside the liner as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lammy Posted 16 December , 2018 Share Posted 16 December , 2018 There is another little clue, maybe worth some research.! Thomas Henry Woollen was born in 1859 and received his technical education at Firth's College, Sheffield. He was apprenticed with Leadbeater and Scott, steel manufacturers, and subsequently remained with this firm on the commercial side for a number of years. After a period as Managing Director of The Jointless Rim Co., he was appointed General Manager of Clement Talbot Ltd. and Director of Palmer Tyres Ltd. During the war he was concerned with production at the Ministry of Munitions, and thereafter joined the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders Ltd. as Head of the Standards Department. One of his greatest services to the automobile industry was undoubtedly the establishment of rim standards for motor cars, motor cycles and pedal cycles, and of tyre valve standards for cars. He retired from active participation in the Industry in 1933. His interest in the Institution dates from its earliest history, since he was one of the founders of the original Cycle Engineers' Institute in Birmingham, and was President of that body for the session 1900/1901. On the establishment of the I.A.E. in London he became a Member of its first Council, and subsequently served thereon for upwards of 24 years. He died on 25th August, 1936, at the age of 77.
