Re: FJ Helmet relic camo ?
Certainly not from Arnhem , where was it recovered ?
The gates of hell were opened and we accepted the invitation to enter" 26/880 Lance Sgt, Edward Dyke. 26th Bn Northumberland Fusiliers , ( 3rd Tyneside Irish )
1st July 1916
Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
House Carles at the Battle of Hastings

Re: FJ Helmet relic camo ?
There were FJ units in the Market Garden Battle, but not in Arnhem itself. They fought against the Americans.
Nice relic.

Hi Wayne, not the same lid. Compare:
I have asked Ken to replace pics and not to use hosting sites, as it has made a mockery of the thread.

@ Glenn, if you look closely you can see some remains of the green paint and the yellowish paint, but like i said it is more obvious when you see it for real and with less light .
my helmet don't comes from anyone else mention above
do you think i have to go further to clean the helmet ? to see maybe more remains of original paint ? i'm a little bit scared
