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.

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
