A point about World War helmets





By ‘World War’ I mean World Wars One and Two (1914-18 and 1939-45). The helmet you see here was found in the Market Garden area (attempt to rush across the Rhine at Arnhem in Holland) of operations after the war, so it probably saw some use. It seems that the shells of the helmets do vary in size, and that I have a smaller one, which makes my head look particularly enormous.

The first day this video went public, many viewers commented on my poor ‘trigger discipline’. I am not from a gun-using culture. I am alone, indoors, with what I know for certain is an unloaded air rifle, striking poses for the camera, pretending to be a WW2 infantryman. These I hope are excuses enough.
