WWII VERY RARE (Single Decal) Medic South African Desert Helmet, desert sand camouflaged dated with her original net and field dressing complete with very rare type liner and chin strap. This Helmet comes with her original Medic Bag! "Not the Water Bottle!!" ~ Only The Helmet & the Bag "these two came together as a set!" together in the same crate whom belonged to the same medic who these items once belonged to back in WWII. South Africa made, a genuine piece of Second World War history, it's an original dated South African helmet.
It's original owner fought in the British 8th Army as a medic in Africa against Germany, the Afrika Corps. Eighth Army had the South African 2nd Infantry Division making a total of 7 divisions.

Everything about this is 100% correct and finding a medic Helmet today has become almost virtually impossible let alone a Medic Helmet due to their scarcity and value in the collectors market, these pieces are those collectors usually keep and this helmet along with all it's contents are as issued together as a set and the first aid field dressing kit was added under the net by the soldier and left as it was and kept that way!! Even the chin strap is in working order and beautifully preserved, she came with the net and the first aid pouch!
the liner is stamped with "JAGER-RAND U (with WD arrows inside the "U") .

stamped size 7 1/8 The decal on this medic Medic helmet is brilliantly preserved and this helmet overall has been taken care of very well.  As with other Imperial contingents, South African troops on the Western Front in W.W.I wore the British Brodie or Mk.I helmet.In World War II, South Africa began production of its own helmets, based on the British Mk.II with a copy of the early Lining Mk.I.

The bodies were made by Transvaal Steel Pressing Syndicate, the linings by Jäger Rand. Nearly 1.5 million helmets were produced. Helmets were provided to the other contingents in North Africa and India. Many ended up in Greece after the War. Body: Unlike the Mk.I or other Commonwealth made Mk.IIs, South African made Mk IIs are almost circular in shape (1 foot/30cm in diameter The chin-strap lugs are square and attached by flat headed rivets Three holes were punched between the skull and the rear rim. It is thought these were to attach a curtain, but no evidence of this has been found. Chin-Strap: Most had the British Mk.II type chin-strap with the elastic Mk.III or IIIA type on later issues.
Lining: Like the British Lining Mk.I, with an oval felt top pad and round felt or rectangular foam buffers. I had another Helmet similar to this one many years ago that I sold for R to a collector in New Zealand, the two Medic helmets were the only two I have ever come across in my life, they are unobtainable today and highly collectable overseas. This one is in far better condition and complete. I am asking very little for this helmet cause I need to sell quick together with it's bag.

    WWII SPECIAL SERVICE BATTALION TITLE BADGE The Special Service Battalion (SSB) is a South African military unit formed on 1 May 1933 under the patronage of Oswald Pirow, Minister of Defence. The object was to give training to youths, between the ages of 17 and 23, who, in the wake of the 1929 depression, could find no suitable employment on leaving school.   History Lt Col George E Brink was given the responsibility for establishing the battalion at Roberts Heights and was the first commanding officer. The SSB was established to save the youth from physical and moral degeneration caused by massive unemployment due to the Great Depression. The SSB was to teach the young men military discipline, fitness and various trades to enable them to be employed by the Department of Labour and Welfare. The SSB men received a salary of a shilling a day causing the SSB soon to be known as the "Bob a Day Battalion".  In 1934 detachments were also established for 100 trainees at Durban and 150 at Cape Town. Training included elementary military subjects and physical training. After a year of the young men usually found employment in government departments or with civilian employers. By 1936 the output of the SSB totalled about 2000 youths a year. In 1937 the South African Railways established at Roberts Heights a special school to prepare boys for the railways. In 1937 3788 youths passed through the ranks of the SSB. A total of 882 of them joined the Permanent Force.  With the expansion of the South African Air Force in 1937 the SSB provided 248 air apprentices for special training but, with the improvement in the economic situation, the waiting list to join the battalion had dwindled to almost nil.  With the outbreak of war in September 1939, members of the SSB were posted to units requiring immediate reinforcement to get on to a wartime basis. An example of this being the Coastal Artillery. In February 1940 a number of troops were transferred to the 1st and 2nd Field Force Battalions. These served with distinction in East Africa, Abyssinia and the Middle East as part of 1st South African Division.  SADF era 1 SSB Commemorative Letter In August 1941 all members of the SSB below the age of 18 were transferred to the Youth Training Brigade. The remainder formed an infantry battalion, which was converted to an armoured car commando in 1942.  In February 1943 the SSB, under Lt Col EG ('Papa') Brits, became part of the 11th SA Armoured Brigade. In March 1943 the Field Force Battalion was disbanded and other ranks and some of the officers were transferred to the SSB, thus providing a nucleus of battle-tested veterans.  The unit sailed for the Middle East with the 6th SA Armoured Division in April 1943. In 1944 the division crossed the Mediterranean Sea to take part in the Italian campaign. The regiment played a prominent part in numerous actions during the campaign.  In 1946, SSB was resuscitated as a Permanent Force unit and reorganised on a two-battalion basis with the 1st Battalion as an armoured unit and the 2nd Battalion infantry. The former became a training regiment in 1953 and the latter was renamed the 1 South African Infantry Battalion (1SAI) in 1951.   CONDITION:  Very Good. Lugs in tact. UNCLEANED. Sold as seen in the images. Images form part of the description.
