Aaron,
Indeed that''s a South Alberta Regiment flash. It was an Armoured Recce Rgt. (29th Armoured Reconnaissance Regiment ) in the 4th Canadian Armoured Division, which is interesting, as by the time it was sent to the UK, its soldiers would have been issued Canadian-made helmets. Perhaps the occupant was transferred to the 29th Armoured Reconnaissance Regiment from a unit which had come over in 1940.

More lovely lids ! That 21st army group helmet is intriguing. Can anyone positively ID it ?

RAOC (Royal army ordnace corps)
The service to provide storage and supply of armament,ammunition,vehicles, signals apparatus, clothing and medical equipment.
The helmet is probably dated 1939/40, and has the blue/red/blue flash to one side.

Nice helmets here! I wanted to post my collection of helmets with flash but unfortunately I can't solve the rotating problem and don't want to give you all neck problems..
