German Helmet from Occupied Channel Islands.
The abandoned German bunkers and gun emplacements became attractive play areas for the children of the islands to explore at the end of the hostilities, although they weren't the safest of places! Helmets and other military equipment became great occupation souvenirs for the youngsters who discovered them. The man who passed this helmet on to us had found it whilst playing with his friends in and around a bunker on Guernsey.
