Provenanced WW2 Squadron Leaders MkII Helmet 1940

An early WW2 British MkII helmet that has the initials of 'WJH' to front & name 'Henney' known to have been from an RAF Squadron leader named William James Henney who is known to have been a Chief Ground Instructor at the Operational Training Unit , Greenwood , Nova Scotia. This base was a training unit for the RAF from 1942 until 1944 when the Royal Canadian Air Force took over.
Helmet is a very nice example of an early issue 1940 MkII with rough khaki textured outer paint applied over its first smooth factory paint. Marked with the initials & date 'JSS 1940' for the firm Joseph Sankey it has liner cradle with 'VERO' maker & 1941 date. The name 'Henney' has been scratched into the underside of the shell also.
A helmet that has hardly been worn it comes with a brief paper synopsis gained from preliminary research by the previous owner.
