WW1 British Gas Warfare Patrol (G.W.P) Marked 1918 Pattern MK II Brodie Trench Helmet With Brodie Ink Stamped Original Oil Cloth Sweat Band Liner & Chin Strap. Sn 23251 - 23251
British army Gas warfare patrols during World War I involved soldiers operating in environments heavily contaminated by chemical agents, necessitating specialized equipment, rigorous training, and the development of new tactical procedures. These patrols were common on the Western Front, particularly from 1916 onwards as gas attacks evolved from sporadic, wind-dependent releases to more systematic, artillery-delivered barrages. GWP’s were used to monitor the effects of a gas cloud on enemy lines, take prisoners, and destroy enemy positions, particularly during "cloud gas" attacks. This is an original WW1 MK II War Office 1918 Pattern British Brodie Steel helmet to a ‘GWP’ with correct rolled rim. It has its original textured olive paint & correct small central copper rivet at the crown. The chin strap bales are attached with correct split pins & are fitted with original brown leather chinstrap with buckle (some service wear to the leather).
