This is one of my new acquisitions. This is a 1890s era Canadian Universal Pattern helmet to the Lorne (Scots) Rifles. The unit was raised in the 1860s and later took part in the First World War. The Canadian military had adopted the Blue Cloth "Home Service Helmet" that was basically the same as the British Home Service Helmet, but then decided instead of using a white Foreign Service Helmet that one helmet would suffice and it was the Universal Pattern Helmet.
I picked up this helmet at the recent Hansa House Show in Mississauga (Toronto). I am rather pleased to add this to my collection.
