Production of this pattern of steel helmet started in Nov 1943 and it was designed to give better protection than the previously issued World War 2 Birtish Army helmet. It was found more comfortable to wear. It was in general issue until the early 1970s. The netting provides a ready means to attach foliage or other forms of camouflage.
