Pith Helmets in Canadian Service
 

Just noticed on page 16 of Clive Law's new publication "Drive to Victory" that the troops in the GS trucks are all wearing pith helmets. During the inter war years, was the pith helmet a commonly issued item available for all Canadian troops, or was it unique dress for just a handful of regiments? Also curious if it was a Canadian design or a standard British pattern?

Pith, Wolseley, and Sun helmets were issue items in Canada during the summer. Service Publications book titled 'Fuss and Fashion' has more information on these and other pieces of Canadian headdress or you can check out some of the wordpress articles which can be found at:
