WW2 British and Commonwealth helmet markings and Badges.

Article about: Thought it might be a good idea if we had a thread where for reference, one could look up, or remind oneself of WW2 British and Commonwealth helmet badges. If you could add only WW2 ARMY bad

    Hello all,

    My first post here. I was recently asked if I could help figure out what the patch is on this helmet. All I know is it's Canadian and found near Trun in France. It has a partially legible inscription with a Vancouver address. Can anyone tell me whose patch that is? I was told that despite appearances, the centre colour is more green than blue.

    Thanks!

    Not my area of expertise but welcome to the forum. I'm sure someone will be around to help. If no replies I recommend starting a new thread for more visibility.

    There used to be a great source of information about Canadian helmet flashes, but for some reason it has disappeared.
    Nice heavy textured paint on the helmet, it is an Canadian made helmet, not one of a few British ones that were issued to the first Canadian troops to arrive in the UK.

    I think it was run by Clive Law who died last year, he also ran service publications.

    Whatever its just an opinion.

    There is a publication out there by the late Mr. Law. Maybe it is available via albris or another use book site

    See text below

    "There are eight titles in the UpClose series:

    Distinguishing Patches: Formation Patches of the Canadian Army, 1916-1996 by Clive M. Law. Documents the history of the design, approval and use of sleeve-worn formation patches of the Canadian Army. 1996, ISBN 0-9699845-2-9"

    This is from his company website (Service Publications)

    Distinguishing Patches – Second Edition | ServicePub

    And here is link to a photo of division patches from WW1 (I can't upload from my phone for some reason)

    I checked our reference library for Clive's book and the information isn't listed in it, unfortunately. Thanks though!
