Tom K Posted 4 August , 2020 Share Posted 4 August , 2020 (edited) Perhaps it is meant to represent the White Hackle of the Royal Fusiliers (City of London Regiment). A primrose yellow hackle was famously worn by the Lancashire Fusiliers in the same position on its helmets during WW1. Tom K.

Ypres1915 Posted 4 August , 2020 Share Posted 4 August , 2020 (edited) To me, the white on the inside of the helmet looks the same as the white of the hackle? Ypres1915 Edited 4 August , 2020 by Ypres1915 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
battle of loos Posted 4 August , 2020 Author Share Posted 4 August , 2020 inside, when I retrieved it (early 90s) had a beige canvas disc glued. the interior is grainy while the "plumet" is smooth. Michel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
