British WWII Helmet ID?

[jasperb182]

Hello Guys,

Can any one help me ID this helmet?

I think the 1940 stamped on the inside means it was made in 1940

The Name panited in the helmet is Lieut D.A. Lloyd.

It has what I think is a Royal Artillery insignia on the side.

It also has a black square with a red boat on the front

The liner says it was made by Herbert & Johnson, New Bond Street LONDON

See pics:

Well, it seems to me like you don't need any identifying
Are you looking for info regarding the name?

Regards,
Finn

Very true, you have all the necessary details to hand but you are asking for help with this, therefore could you supply a lot clearer and larger photos of all the points you mention, noone can give their opinion on the pics supplied.

Hi Marc, welcome to the foum!

I have saved your pics and cropped, enlarged and turned them around and added them here.

It is a very nice named helmet.

Cheers, Ade.

The red ship on black background is for the 76th. Div. A war raised unit allotted a training role and the ship is a red Norfolk wherry linking the div. to East Anglia. John.

So its from the 76th division of the Royal Artillery that was raised in WWII for training, and the Red Norfolk Wherry links the division to the east anglia Regiment?

Very nice helmet and provenance, it shouldnt be too hard to trace this person provided the records are still available, but im not sure if they will release any info to non relatives, it would be nice if you could find out
