This is an other ranks review order helmet for the Life Guards, senior regiment of the sadly diminished British Army. I've had this helmet for close on 20 years, but these are the first ( semi) decent photos. It has a King's Crown on the front plate, so it was likely worn pre 1953.
Thanks for looking, and for any comments.
We were part of the Household Division as were the Coldsream, Grenadier, Scots, Irish and Welsh Guards. They were the infantry /foot guards, we and the Blues & Royals were the mounted/armoured regiments of the Division
