I know that it was a while ago now. But, at 0:24 I noticed a 'Tommy' helmet on the tarp. It has a brown liner? Is it Belgian or did some British helmets come with brown liners?
Hi Simon - just looking back at this video as I was sure that I had seen reference to the 'Home Guard' respirator tin on your channel previously. I managed to pick one up at War and Peace this week, however it is missing the string/cord carrying strap. What would your recommendation be for a suitable replacement? Many Thanks
Hi Luke, I can't advise on a source for replacement cord but I understand it is known as 'cod line' It's similar to old cotton washing line cord. If you drop me a message on FB I can send you some close up photos.

I suggest turning on subtitles for the drill section.
I miss my re enactment days. And i really regret selling off all my collection, which took yrs to acquire.

Ah, no that's a Belgian liner being used as a stand in on a helmet where the liner had deteriorated.
@@RiflemanMoore Thought so, thank you

always cool to see the "40's" kit in "action" lol, but where did the gentleman at the end of the vid stow his enameled mug? ,lol !
I believe it was out and full of tea!
lol!
Toothbrush was a bargain for £2 eh?
£3 but yes, indeed!
I cringed when you guys swung those bayonet out while people walked by so close to you.
Really? I didn't see any real inherent danger at the time.
My_Name Is_Mud I bet you haven’t been out of your house since the lockdown!.
I have a 1937 respirator in a tin.
Very nice, you should do a video on it!
