WW2 Home Front 'Trench Art' helmet humour

[Grimebox]

Thought I'd post this one for you all to have a look at! There is no liner and the inside is coated in soot so I guess it was used to cover a candle or something similar.

Looks like it's been on there a long time Be nice to find out what regiment/division he servered in.

Thanks for the replies - I bought it in Bristol some years ago so if it came from Cambuslang (I had to Google it to find out it was in deepest darkest Scotland) its travelled a long way!

Hi,
I wonder if your helmet was attached to the 12th anti- aircraft div'. They were up in Scotland during WW2.
