shell fire!.
Fragged whilst on the ground !!
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
Now thats what you can safely call 'salty'!
Hi Marinus , welcome to the forum , that is one "battle damaged" helmet! Also it is fantastic that you picked it up from such an iconic battle ground. Good stuff! Leon.
What can I say ......... lubberly!!

Thanks for the reactions. I've added a pic of one of the vaguely vissible decals.
