Thanks Todd. That's interesting about the helmets resistance to .22 round but has you say it wouldn't stand up to larger, close up calibre. I know that these helmets were developed in the first world war with the skirt largely to protect from shrapnel dropping into the trenches. This helmet was found in an area that was subjected to fairly heavy bombing so this is probably shrapnel from aerial bombing. Whatever hit it must have had some force behind it.
