Named Helmet research?

[Darrell Zinck]

Hi Mark

Just names is difficult, in many cases, to research for Military service but if you had a Military/Regimental Number, there is potential.

In my experience, Canadian named pieces of equipment often had their number also. Does your helmet have a soldier's number?

With a Canadian WW2 soldier's number, I can tell you to what unit they enlisted, at the least.

The name "Klepper" does not have many hits in my Canadian sources but there was a British borne (Lancashire) fellow (Julius) in the Canadian Expeditionary Force during the First World War. If it is British, I cannot help you but it would still be researchable.
