    Here I thought you guys might be getting bored of looking at 42 C.L./C. Mk II's
    So here is a 41 with painted capital red F on the front denoting the helmet was used by the Canadian Army Fire services she is a C.L./C. 1941 with V.M.C. 41 LINER chin strap is C-/l\ marked it has a nice patina and looks to be lightly used with the number 14 scrolled on the front and back with a grease pen.

    Hi Mark, For British helmets its easy to tell army from civilian used ones, army are textured while civilian are smooth paint.
    How do you know this is army,would the civilian fire service have used helmets, a bit like the ARP marked ones?

    Hi Aaron just from the very limited information I have bee n able to find on the net .
    There are no printed referances I can find in my books.
    I will see if I can add a few more details tonight after work
    I would welcome any additional information and if I am wrong would quite happily edit my post with the correct information.

    The Canadian helmets mostly seem to be factory painted the same colour, I just wondered how you can tell the difference between military & civilian use. I know there were some helmets stamped DP&H which were for home front use, I wonder how extensive the ARP was in Canada, fire brigades, police, Ambulance, home guard & the like.
    It's so much easier to tell Brit helmets apart.
