Hello Guys I have this helmet in my collection it has stamped markings on the inside that read C.L./C. 1941 for the canadian motorlamp company. The helmet was found in a fleamarket in germany. It has a insignia painted on the front four red diamonds inside each other. I have been trying to find out if this a divisional insignia or something else but with no luck. Someone suggested communications unit as the insignia looks like radio antenna or directional/locating type but I have had no definite answers. On the inside there is penciled service number H 613579. I asked around about it and this is the information I got about the service number: The service number belongs issued to 10 Military District NRMA recruits, so it would seem your helmet was issued to a Zombie from Manitoba or Northern Ontario. It may be he eventually volunteered to go overseas or was one of the hapless batch that went anyway in late 1944. I asked about the term "Zombie" as I was not familiar with it: NRMA was the National Resources Mobile Resources which allowed conscription for home defence. Until the very last months of the War only volunteers were sent overseas. Needless to say those conscripted under NRMA were "encouraged" to volunteer. Those chose not to too and preferred to remain safe in Canada (albeit some were sent to the Aleutian Islands or the West Indies) were called "Zombies" by the Canadian Army Overseas, which by late 1944, badly needed replacements. If anyone has some answers or theories then I would appreciate to hear them Best Regards Thorsteinn.
