Andrew Core Posted 15 April , 2019 Share Posted 15 April , 2019 I’ve found this helmet in the region of arras and would like if possible to identify which type it is. Also is worth cleaning and would electrolysis be a good way to do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Upton Posted 15 April , 2019 Share Posted 15 April , 2019 Appears to be the remains of a British Brodie helmet - the split-riveted chinstrap bales are fairly distinctive: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardenerbill Posted 15 April , 2019 Share Posted 15 April , 2019 (edited) Is there a human vertebrae to the left of the helmet? Edited 16 April , 2019 by Gardenerbill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Core Posted 15 April , 2019 Author Share Posted 15 April , 2019 No thankfully just some iron work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Michelle Young Posted 16 April , 2019 Admin Share Posted 16 April , 2019 I'd agree it looks like a vertebrae. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardenerbill Posted 16 April , 2019 Share Posted 16 April , 2019 Having looked at some images of vertebrae it's similar but I don't think it looks like one and anyway the OP said it was a lump of metal and that's good enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derekb Posted 16 April , 2019 Share Posted 16 April , 2019 Some years ago I worked for short periods of time with a Frenchman, when he came to the UK he gave me what he said was a thumb bone from the Somme, after a short deliberation I gave it the most respectful burial that I could.

trooper23 Posted 17 April , 2019 Share Posted 17 April , 2019 I beg to differ - as soon as I saw the photo - I said that's a vertebra probably lumbar; please see attached file lumbar vertebra.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
