Do Brit Home Front helmets really count…….

….as Militaria?

This is question I’ve recently been asked…..and although my initial desire was to call the chap a Cad and a Bounder and demand satisfaction the following morning on the Green at 9.00 am with swords (for that is how we still sort disputes in the UK) his logic seemed flawless. They ARE civilian……they are NOT military…and therefore they can’t be categorised as "Militaria" and in his view "therefore don’t count" (as militaria presumably?). And yet the Blitz was one of the most intense battles, albeit with one side having war done TO or AT them without a direct response (from them at least). People drove trains and buses, made bread, sold shirts…that’s not Militaria….but give ‘em a helmet, ideally with something painted on the front, and all of a sudden they get into the club.

Now I don’t like that blokes logic…especially if it means instant expulsion from the various History / Militaria forums……but are we freaks / leppers? are HF lids persona….errr…..helmetta non grata? are they simply tolerated with an accompanying "ah…bless" sigh?…and if we are to be banished to the wasteland what would a new HF Helmet-specific Forum be called?:confused:
