Here’s another example, a modified dispatch rider helmet converted to an airborne helmet postwar.
There are a couple of names in it. Looks like Cpl Belliveau JA which Belliveau has been crossed off and another name added; Cleroux. No service number but a rank. Now it could be the name written in when it was used as a dispatch rider helmet and not necessarily when it was used as an airborne helmet. Having the ability to research a name to find out what unit he was with may tell some of the story of the helmet.
