Ross - the LS&GC medal alongside - is it with the Helmet ? What was his rank and name - some of our members

like to do research. Mervyn

Hello again Mervyn. The medals are not connected to the helmet. I do pick up any LSGC medals from officers of my own force....South Wales, so are not researched as such as I know who they were awarded to. Ross

Good to see another helmet collector on the forum, particularly since Stuart Bates left. I have some of mine in this section under 'British helmets collections'. I just realised that I haven't added anything for a while so I've just put one on, which should bring it up the top of the list. If you haven't seen Stuart's collection, which is also on here, you must take a look. I go for home service helmets and heavy cavalry.

Hello Patrick......You may be interested in taking a look at my collection on my website www.britishpolicehelmet.co.uk

I had moved on some of the helmets which were of little interest to me, but my main interest is Welsh. I got the SWB Volunteer Officers helmet a couple of years ago in a swap deal. I am more into police helmets, but always keen to add anything which is just an interesting item of headwear.....hence the 3rd Dragoons helmet and the old Fire Brigade Chiefs helmet.

Best wishes.............Ross
