It could have been all I know is what I did with it!!! & where it has been sat collecting dust. I'm not sure if these helmets were worn in NI...?. Because their proctection isn't great when it comes to bullets & bombs lol..The reason they stopped us wearing them on the ranges... Cheers Terry.

The helmet is looking good James. Good to stop shine but not much cop for anything else! Like breaking up the shape!. I saw that soldier too on the news.. I would buy him a pint anyday! I fine soldiering skills .. Cheers Terry.

too true terry ,great to see he has recovered well from his wounds ,i cant believe how close he came ,but he had real great bloke tending to him ,im just glad all ended well

[Tango]

Yes very lucky the round/bullet must have been coming to the end of it's flight otherwise he wouldn't have a neck!!!. & those medics do amazing job..So both medals well deserved in my eyes.. Cheers Terry
