So just to outline here – these are makeshift helmets made by the Egyptians whilst scrapping in their current predicament. I shall guide you through these pieces of registered non standard army kit:
Your classic 1979 “˜Tribottle rag” helmet – a must in any type of combat:
A late 80″s “˜boxhat”. The bloke next to him doesn”t appear too sure of its effectiveness:
A renaissance period piece of brickwear teamed with a black and cream scarf. Textbook
I’m not sure that tuna sarnie he is about to lob is gonna cause to much destruction. Old skool 80s broken bin helmet. I personally love the fact he needs to lift it up to see – does he spend the rest of the time walking in to things??
Textbook saucepaning with lifejacket combo.
I literally have no idea what this is.
And the winner by 100 miles. This bloke is going to war with 2 baguettes strapped to his ears and a ham salad roll sellotaped to his forehead. I”d def wanna be behind him if someone lobs a load of bricks at me.
