The Brodie steel combat helmet was designed and patented in 1915 by Englishman John Leopold Brodie. Brodie's design had a shallow circular crown with a wide brim around the edge.

The design allowed the use of relatively thick steel that could be formed in a single pressing while maintaining the helmet's thickness. The Middlesex Regiment (Duke of Cambridge's Own) was a line infantry regiment of the British Army in existence from 1881 until 1966. The Regiment saw action in the Boer wars and elements of the Regiment embarked with the British Expeditionary F orce (BEF) at the outbreak of WW1 in 1914.
