Remembered Today:

Wiltshire regiment helmet

Recommended Posts

Hello

I just came across this helmet shell with a Wiltshire regiment insignia on front, not painted but a paper decal.

Is it possible to identify one specific battalion wich wore this type of insignia ?

Thanks a lot

Florent

I wish I could help but I don't know. Maybe @Moonraker can help?

 

The helmet is interesting because if you found it in France, it is almost certainly from WW1 which means decals were indeed used on helmets at that time. Some people believe they were only used postwar and this helmet would seem to disprove that.
