Re: France 1940

The P's were applied after the unit was re-formed after Dunkirk. No P's on helmets in the BEF. They were formed in Franc in Oct '39.

Thanks

Hi
My son and I have one of these camouflage helmets in our militaria collection that was used by NZrs in the Pacific.

Gracie Fields visted the troops in France in 1940 too. Proper music-hall stuff. Authentically English...to my mind far preferable to all the Glenn Miller and simpering Vera Lynn that came later.

Re: France 1940

My bike is in that serial range, C4343114, may be in that line up, who knows?
Maybe nice to do a Phantom bike. Not to sure about slinging a Lee Enfield like that.
I can remember a good few years ago, a thread about the locations of brackets etc.
