The helmet is a khaki cotton covered cork pith helmet that has a top vent and puggaree with the 3rd Battalion Wellington Regiment wool (flash) badge of Blue-Red-Blue. The interior has a green cotton facing lining that is lightly stained from sweat with minor worn areas. The helmet still retains the brown leather sweatband chinstrap. The interior of the helmet is marked and has the British-Zealand crown with (W. D) and the broad arrow, and dated 1912. The interior also has the soldiers name (Corpl L Morgan) partial service number (1043), and his brigade. These Wosley helmets were worn during the Gallipoli Campaign and then turned in when the units were transferred to Flanders. |
