HC Deb 14 October 1915 vol 74 c1494W
Mr. BRYCE

asked whether it is intended to furnish British troops with light steel helmets similar to those which are reported to have been found useful in protecting the French Army from rifle and shrapnel fire?

Mr. NEVILLE

asked whether the War Office possessed any information showing the efficacy of the protective helmet lately introduced into the French Army; whether similar helmets are being provided for British troops; and, if so, how soon will they be available?

Mr. TENNANT

The Commander-in-Chief has, after trials, recommended a pattern of helmet, and the required quantity has been ordered and supply is now being made.
