        I agree with Nick, both helmets appear to have chicken wire attached to them.
        Can you provide a clearer image of the soldier on the right of the image Nick?

              Nick,
              Do you know the first names or initials of Mackenzie and Douglas? If they were also with the Seaforth, then you might be able to find their service records within the Highlanders unit history. Unfortunately, Ostergaard is not listed.
