WW2 CALGARY HLDRS. TOMMY HELMET WITH REGIMENTAL FLASH

Very rare helmet with red / white painted diced square to the left side. Not Argylls as they were always rectangular.
The Calgary Hldrs. are however affiliated to the Argylls and adopted their glengarry with the red/ white dice. Their helmets bore the same colours but in a square. I have enclosed a period photo to endorse this.
On their arrival in England they were kitted out with British equipment and weapons.
Helmet has seen a bit of action but is in good battle worn condition.


Pipe-Major Neil Sutherland talks to former Prime Minister and Honourary Colonel R.B Bennett, in England on 12 February 1943. The Pipe Band took their full ceremonial dress with them to the United Kingdom. Officer in greatcoat in centre of photo wears the Second Division patch on his sleeve with a gold wire "C-II" device. Officer at right has a decal on the left side of his helmet, in the pattern of the red and white dicing found on the glengarry.
