Dean. On your foto #1. Are the SS runes painted over on the helmet, or is the foto doctored for censorship reasons?

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

here is a nice period propaganda picture i bought from the classifieds here at the forum, it is from the same series as the coloured one above, very crisp helmet shot, cool pics here!
Super nice pictures. I love the original pictures..so I made a site with this Militaria-pictures. - Frontpage. Militaria for sale.. There is also a some of my For sale parts. If you look for militaria let me know I have a lot more for sale.
Below is an unusual helmet pic. The back is simply marked '17,3,37'.
I bought the photo expressly for the image of this one helmet.
A cutout transitional must be super rare today.........
