WW2 British Queens Royal Regiment ( West Surrey ) Helmet 1942

A rare British army helmet of the Queens Royal Regiment ( West Surrey ) with the proud & distinctive Pascale Lamb insignia to front.
This helmet is finished in the dark granulated khaki factory paint found on MkII helmets produced just before the introduction of the MkIII . When one examines the underside of the shell the date 1943 can be clearly discerned with 1942 date to liner cradle. There is some dryness & damage to the rexene of the liner however the MkIII chinstrap is intact.
A very rare helmet to find with this insignia.
The West Surreys were the oldest English Line Regiment in the British Army formed in 1661 & existing until 1959 when merged into the Queens Royal Surrey Regiment. Its various Battalions served all over including North Africa , Burma , France , Italy & North West Europe.
