Helmet George Baker 1943

Helmet issued to the Carrier Platoon 1943

A standard issue metal helmet used by soldiers in the battle field. This design was used by the members of the Carrier platoon of Support Company of the 48th Highlanders. Unlike the standard Canadian and British issue helmet, which was shaped like an inverted soup bowl with a rim, this helmet lacks a rim, making it less likely to catch on hatches and vehicle openings.   The helmet was donated by George Baker.
