**RECOVERED FROM THE ROAD TO BASRA (HIGHWAY OF DEATH) 1991 1st GULF WAR**Iraqi Forces Combat Helmet With Netted Camouflage Cover & Iraqi Forces Red Beret With Cap Badge. Sn 20502 - 20502
The Gulf War was a 1990–1991 armed campaign waged by a 35-country military coalition in response to the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. Spearheaded by the United States, the coalition's efforts against Iraq were carried out in two key phases: Operation Desert Shield, which marked the military buildup from August 1990 to January 1991; and Operation Desert Storm, which began with the aerial bombing campaign against Iraq on 17 January 1991 and came to a close with the American-led Liberation of Kuwait on 28 February 1991. The Highway of Death is a six-lane highway between Kuwait and Iraq, officially known as Highway 80. It runs from Kuwait City to the border town of Safwan in Iraq and then on to the Iraqi city of Basra. The road was used by Iraqi armoured divisions for the 1990 invasion of Kuwait. It was repaired after the Gulf War and used by U.S. and British forces in the initial stages of the 2003 invasion of Iraq. During the offensive in the Persian Gulf War, American, Canadian, British and French aircraft and ground forces attacked retreating Iraqi military personnel attempting to leave Kuwait on the night of February 26–27, 1991, resulting in the destruction of hundreds of vehicles and the deaths of many of their occupants. Between 1,400 and 2,000 vehicles were hit or abandoned on the main Highway 80 north of Al Jahra. The scenes of devastation on the road are some of the most recognizable images of the war (a copy of a contemporary image of the post attack destruction is reproduced in image 1 and demonstrates the extent of the carnage). This is an original Iraqi Forces Combat Helmet & Iraqi Forces Red Beret recovered by a member of The British Army Air Corps from the road to Basra shortly after the allied forces offensive against the retreating Iraqi troops.

Belgian WWII Army 'Casque Adrian modèle 1926' (M1926) Adrian Steel Combat Helmet and Liner. MISC 116. - MISC 116
The Casque Adrian modèle 1926 was used by the French and Belgian armed forces during the World War II. The French and Belgian forces used the Adrian helmet in the Battle of France. After the French capitulation, Vichy France, the French Resistance and some units of the Free French Forces adopted it until 1951 in the French army and the 70s for the French police. Based on the M15 French Adrian Helmet the M26 helmet was modified to be stronger and was made from one piece of metal. The joining rim around the helmet was no longer there. Several smaller ventilation holes were made in this model in placement of the large hole in the M15, as this was considered a design weakness. In the period between wars Belgium started to produce a M26 helmet with a wider rim and a different comb than the French one. This Belgian M1926 helmet retains most of the original black paint, complete with the original six tongue leather liner, chin strap, and lion’s head front plate. 7-7 1/8 size for a medium sized head. The price includes UK delivery. MISC 116.
