Pre WW1 British Officers Home Service Worcestershire Regiment Helmet Carrier Tin

This Pre WW1 British Officers Home Service Worcestershire Regiment Helmet Carrier Tin is an original military storage container used by British Army officers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Designed specifically for the safe transport and storage of the Home Service helmet, the tin form-fitting interior preserves the helmet’s shape and condition. The exterior of the carrier tin often features a japanned finish, with regiment and officer identification usually hand-painted or labeled, in this case referencing the Worcestershire Regiment. A hinged lid and secure clasp, along with a carrying handle, allowed officers to transport their ceremonial headgear conveniently during travel or posting changes. Such carrier tins were issued as personal equipment and are now seldom encountered with clear regimental attribution. This item reflects the standards of officer kit during Britain’s pre-World War One era, offering insight into the material requirements and organizational practices of the period’s regimental system.
