polish para helmet

[no 1 pts school]

firstly HAPPY NEW YEAR to every one.

many years ago 23 to be exact i bought this helmet off a old chap called ken hulme . he was the son of a local butcher during the war . how he came across it was by chance... found it in a field by chance after a accident involving a truck which crashed full of paratroops on their way back to ringway from tatton park ...

ken showed me where the crash took place. still a large hole in the country side hedge very close to stock farm.

ive no doubt of the story as ken showed me many things he came across during the war . and also where many troops trained. to which ive found many relics .... old ken was a mine of infomation . he was not old enough to join up but loved the army .



i would like to share the pictures with you but not able to post them

would it be possible a fellow member could post them on my behalf

sorry for the inconvienence

best regards to all .....

What a nice helmet, and to a gallant group of heroes. Your very lucky to have it. Was the net always on it?. What do you know about the accident, were any of the troopers killed?.
