Could this be Rommel’s prewar map case, or did it belong to any of the other officers in the family? Got this from Germany and did not see that Rommel was written inside before I opened it today. Is there any connection with the family Rommel and the unit stamped inside?

Thanks for the help! cool militaria

Hi There
I wonder if someone could help me with an unusual item I have, it is a miniature Stokes Mortar shell (picture below). Can anyone shed an light on whether it was a training aid or some special presentation item as it is in a case. It does have the Mod arrow marked on it.

This carrier is about 3 foot long and very heavy. It is made from very close weaved khaki webbing canvas with double thickness leather closure (reinforced with wood inside). The other end is reinforced with a studded leather cap fitted over a very heavy leather sleeve. Straps are leather with metal buckles and the carrying strap is webbing. Has the feel of pre WW2 to me - possibly WW1 era. Probably European but I don’t think British. There are no markings showing manufacturer, issue etc. Very well made with rivets and close stitching.

Thank you very much for your help.

This helmet is a real time capsule. It belonged to my grandfathers best friend, Harold Good SX7234 2nd/48th Battalion AIF. Harry was wearing this helmet at Tobruk, when he was shot in the head. You can see the entry and exit hole, as well as the damage to the lining where the bullet passed through. Harry always said it parted his hair, leaving a slight graze, a very lucky man. He kept the helmet as a reminder of his lucky escape. The unusual thing about the helmet is that it is a British model, not Australian. I now wonder how many Aussies in the Middle East wore these, and why? Harry passed away back in 2000, so I an unable to find ask him for further details. I have included a few photos of Harry and he is not wearing a helmet in any of them. I thought this was something worth sharing with you all.
