M1917 Kelly Helmet: From the Fall Of The Philippines: 20th Air Base Group

Hey guys,

Heres an interesting find I picked up.

An M1917 Kelly Helmet: From the Fall Of The Philippines: 20th Air Base Group.

Was not too interested in this helmet because of condition. But, it was only $35. So of course it followed me home. Its an original British WW1 shell marked FS. Interesting that it has remnants of a leather chinstrap.

I noticed the liner is marked 20th Air Base group quick google searched I turned up this:

The 20th Air Base Group is a disbanded unit of the United States Air Force. It was part of the Far East Air Force, during World War II. The group was based at Nichols Field, in the Philippines. It surrendered to the Japanese in the spring of 1942.

Interesting piece of US history, definitely from a darker time. This items just screams history to me!

Well enjoy!
-Danny
