    Hello,
    this helmet was found in the Varsity area - the exact location north of DZ A and south of DZ B makes it difficult to tell whether we're dealing with the helmet of a soldier from 3 Para Bde or 5 Para Bde. Anyway - I would like to find out what the red triangle marking (on the side at the bottom) tells us about this helmet. Inside it is marked with the name SMART. The hole was caused by rust.
