Peter_Suciu Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Any idea about this South African WWII sun helmet? This is dated 1942. I can't find much information on SA Divisions or Regiments, but I was told First or Second SA Division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur R Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 An interesting question. This flash doesn't appear to fit the standard SA pattern, which was 2 inches wide by 3 inches high. Nor does this combination of colours appear in the lengthy list of flashes published by Dr Curson in Africana Notes & News (December 1962).The 1st SA Division flash was a diamond shape and the 2nd SA Division flash was a circular disc, both being divided horizontally into yellow over green. AFAIK, they were worn on the sleeves, not on the helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
