Just seen this   Many names have clickable link for photo of service member with a bit of a Bio https://www.timesofisrael.com/authorities-name-44-soldiers-30-police-officers-killed-in-hamas-attack/ Like this for Cpt. Shir Eilat commander in the Border Defense Corps 414th unit, KIA October 7 2023 

Can you post it here please SARGE.   But I don't know if they took there uniforms with them to Russia, it's possible they wore them traveling to Germany, and once at Graf put them in storage when issued Heer uniforms

Thanks. i really enjoy these Forums. Great groups! Laurence forgot to mention that I photograph and paint militaria that I collect. Can be seen on my website at artgoestowar.com

Interestingly, I just picked up one of the black lacquered caps worn by these troops.  I wonder if they wore them while serving as a Feldgendarmerie unit ? 

Welcome aboard!  

Can anyone identify Tartan maybe Seaforth Highlanders? Any suggestions as to date and provenance? Looks to be very genuine WW2 Pith helmet

Hi, My dad was a Captain in the RAMC at the end of the War. He graduated from Medical School in Liverpool on July 7, 1945. My Uncles were Ordinary Airmen in the RAF. A distant relative by marriage was KIA with the Lancashire Fusiliers with the 50th Royal Tank Regiment in Italy, December 21, 1943. Various ancestors were in in the First WW with Royal Garrison Artillery and the Kings Irish Liverpool as well as the 39th Fusiliers (Jewish Brigade).A great Uncle was in the Russian Army prior to 1905 -Private in the 4th Infantry Division of the Russian Army between 1896 and 1899.

White Pith Helmet with Royal Highlanders Black Watch Insignia piercing front shell. Label states "made In England" with lion, may be Christies. Any suggestions to date and provenance? I have more pictures. will post on additional post. Name inside is Dolan. Not sure if WW1 WW2 or interwar?

Any thoughts as to owner or history of thsi beautiful helmet. British Wolseley Pattern Overseas Service Tropical Pith Helmet by Gieves, London – Royal Navy Pattern - Wharton Militaria.pdf some more pictures: shipping label and close up of makers and date on chin strap.

I believe these are Swedish soldiers from 1974.
