I dare say there is battlefield damage but i also think some enhanced with a pickaxe, whether that was done by digging it up or after ,no idea

Pick axe or target practice this one is.

Dougs right many helmets that were lost on the battlefield were then used for target practice , zeroing , ranging etc.
