Dear Reader:
I'm a man who likes to touch, feel, discus and work with militairy helmets, since I don't have a big spare room to display all of my helmets I started this blog. My idea is to build it up to share my helmets with the rest of the world.
,
I have no other intention than sharing my passion and experiences with helmets. By no means I think I know it all, I'm just telling what and how I did things they don't necessarily need to be correct, always think for yourself and double check the facts, check multiple sources. I still learn a lot every day.
Because I have a lack of space at home my collection is stored in a storage facility.
The list below does not show all the articles in my blog but only my helmets. This list helps me to find my helmets and keep track of the helmets I presented.

This blog is all about my little hobby: my militairy helmet collection.
some articles are about military units, in particular about the music of army bands such as the Fanfara Bersaglieri and the music of the French foreign legion.
Find pictures: Italian Helmet, Adrian Helmet, M1 Helmet, Brodie Helmet
I'm a man who likes to touch, feel, discus and work with militairy helmets, since I don't have a big spare room to display all of my helmets I started this blog. My idea is to build it up to share my helmets with the rest of the world.

Because I can read Dutch, German, English and French and with the help of Google Translate several other languages I sometimes link to all kinds of Websites and Blogs in all kind of languages.

Belgian Helmet model 49FN. This is actually a normal green army helmet, ABL,
painted white.Someone wrote BW on the front, I have no idea why and what it means.
Could be:
BW: BrandWeer = Fire Department
BW: Burger Wacht = Civilian Guard
I received information about this helmet.
It was used by 950e Cie Mun at Houthulst.
(950 Compagnie Munitie Houthulst)
This was the e-mail I received:
Hello B,
I personally got that BW from the former 950th Cie Mun, when it was dissolved, from someone who was employed there. That was Mun.Dep. Houthulst. according to that man this was from the Military Fire Brigade, hence the lettering "BW" ... I obtained that helmet with the closure of this depot at the end of 2001.
Grt, K.
Note the text in the liner: ABL 1949 X.B. 1951.
Model 1949 made by Xavier Buisset made in 1951.

On of my passions are helmets but I got also interested in military berets.
My special interest is in berets from The Netherlands and Belgium.
Little by little I'm building my collection. What I like about Dutch berets is that the emblems used are standardized in size and shape.
I think The Netherlands started using berets after World War 2, about the same time they started using British style uniforms.
I could be wrong, so correct me if that's the case.
Do not trow away a beret but contact me or send it to me.
Besides information about the beret manufacturer I like to look for information about the units using the emblem on the beret.
Most information I find by using Google, so it could be wrong, always use multiple sources to find actual information.
I enjoy doing this and I include many links to related websites in my articles. Some of the links will get you to websites or blogs of fellow military collectors.
