**THE GALLIPOLI HELMET**Pre WW1 1908 Dated British WD Wolseley Pattern Overseas Service / Tropical Pith Helmet Solar Topee With Pagri Head Band Attributed To HQ716 Sgt W.J. Roberts 6th BMP’ (6th Battalion Burma Military Police). Sn 22987:6 - 22987:6
The Burma Military Police (BMP) was a paramilitary force of British Burma. Its main functions were the pacification of Upper Burma and the policing of the Burmese frontier. The force was made up of Indian and Burmese recruits led by British Officers and NCO’s. Dating back to 1886, it was formally established under the Upper Burma Military Police Regulation in 1887, which was superseded the same year by the Burma Military Police Act. In July 1917, the 85th Burman Rifles were raised from the Burma Military Police. After the separation of Burma from British India, most battalions of the Burma Military Police became part of the new Burma Frontier Force, In 1914, experienced soldiers of the BMP were sent to fight on the Western Front for the British Empire. In total, 4,650 BMP soldiers were transferred to fight in World War I. On the Western Front, they were tasked with supporting various regiments in Flanders and France, and also served in the Gallipoli campaign. In 1917, when the Kuki Rebellion began, the British were reliant on the BMP and Assam rifles to deal with Kuki rebels. As the rebellion continued, the BMP had their Martini-Henry rifles replaced by .303 calibre Enfield SMLE rifles. In April 1937, six battalions of the BMP became part of the newly established Burma Frontier Force. These battalions were mainly made up of Indian and Gurkha forces. The Wolseley pattern Pith helmet is a distinctive British design developed and popularised in the late-19th / early 20th century. With its swept-back brim it provided greater protection from the sun than the old Foreign Service helmet and its use was soon widespread among British Civil and Military personnel serving overseas. This is an original British WD Wolseley pattern Pith helmet recently received from a family who knew this helmet as the ‘WW1 Gallipoli Helmet issued in Alexandria to a relative on the way to the Dardanelles’. The helmet has its original 7 fold khaki head band 'Pagri' & vented top mount. It is complete with leather sweatband and leather chinstrap.

The crown of the helmet has the correct brass vent. The inside of the helmet is ink stamped with WD & Broad Arrow mark above pre WW1 date ‘9 1908’ (September 1908). The inside of the helmet also has period hand written name & Regiment detail ‘HQ716 (Headquarters 716), Sgt W.J. Roberts 6th BMP’ (6th Battalion Burma Military Police).

The Brunswick rifle was a large calibre muzzle-loading percussion rifle manufactured for the British Army by Enfield in the early 19th century. The Brunswick rifle was one of several designs submitted to replace the Baker rifle. Unlike the Baker rifle, the Brunswick rifle used a special round ball with raised ribs that fit into two spiralling grooves in the barrel. The rifle was designed to accept a sword type bayonet which mounted by use of a bayonet bar, similar to the design of that used on the Baker rifle. The bayonet bar was relocated further back due to problems that had been experienced with the Baker rifle. The Brunswick rifle used a block front sight and a two position folding leaf rear sight which could be set for either 200 or 300 yards. 2nd Model Brunswick rifles were introduced C1845. In 1854 as a result of introduction of the Minie rifle musket, Brunswicks were issued to militia Regiments and remained in service with them into the 1860’s (see page 64 plate 58 and page 65 of British Military Longarms by Bailey).
