TOPIC:

There is an officer's Victorian Home Service Helmet to the Northumberland Volunteer Artillery for sale on ebay at present. It might be of interest to members, particularly those who collect headgear as it was owned by R W Wilson who served in South Africa with the Elswick Battery. I checked the medal entitlement quoted and it's correct. I can't insert a link for some reason, but the number is 172232689379.
