One of the 140,000 British made helmets that were issued to the Canadian Army overseas before their own helmet production line had started.
Flashed to the RE, size 33mmx33mm.
The name of MT WOODS is on the inside brim.

Hey Tinlid,

Captain (I believe he was a Captain) MT Wood's helmet is a true looker, saw it pass through a couple of dealers over the past month or so and glad it has made its way to you. The flash is really stellar, nice acquisition.

Best regards,

Yeah I had this one for a little while, though I am not a dealer,

So you think he was a captain, interesting, thank you.

The dealer Military Antiques Toronto had originally listed it to a "Capt. MT Wood" and it sold pretty much instantly (if not before they even listed it). I have do not know if that is accurate, but he could have been a Captain. I would suggest attempting to do some research on this interesting piece. Anyway, lovely helmet and thanks for sharing.

Best regards,
