The British WWII helmet was very similar to the American Army helmets used in WWI.
The manufacturer's brand and lot number are displayed on the bottom left photograph.
The liner of the helmet is leather and its size was adjusted by tightening or loosening
a string that ran through its perimeter.
The liner was attached to the helmet via a bolt anf nut. The nut can be seen on
the bottom left photograph, also notice the gasket like material employed to further
secure the liner.
The chin strap consisted of a snapping wire that coupled with a female end. The end
result was a firmly held position.
