Pith Helmets
Quote:
I was also a construction engineer.. I had a pith helmet issued to me when I was posted to Sardinia ,Italy in 1969.. So there are probably s few still kicking around.. Mine was of WW2 vintage but repainted.. I tried it on a few times but never wore it on base or as part of my day to day uniform.. Could have used it a time or two,but usually found shade in the mess when it got too hot..which was often..
