Glad you liked it Roger . I thought it was worthy of a post . And it showed military collectors in a good light . And 30$ for a named helmet wasn't too bad either !
Cheers Chris

Wow cool story, how does that helmet still look mint after 6 years of battle and 70 years of being passed around??

When our wives tell us they're sick of our "junk" this is what keeps us going. This is what it's all about!

A great story indeed! Great luck, too, that the man was still living. Sadly, all that remains of the legacy of some veterans are descendants who don't understand or care about what their ancestors lived through.

Maybe this is the real reason that the collector returned it.

Well done, that man. A grand gesture. Did them both good, it seems. Thanks for posting.
