Trying to identify this marine. There was Barber who wnet missing in Guadal Canal in late 1942 but i dont think this is same person

8th Armored WW2

just acquire this with its tin. Dated 1917 on chin strap. Tress & Co. Any comments. Seems like a very nice piece. Thanks

I acquired this white pith Wolseley with a Royal Highlanders BlackWatch insignia perforated into shell. Makers label may be Christies. Any input as to its date or provenance? Thanks Laurence

Thanks again to everyone. I have messaged the seller to cancel the purchase. It may be a nice helmet but it wasn’t a khaki british army Wolseley which is what I was searching for.

Hopefully you get what you want as far as looks, that said, and as mentioned several times here, this is a Bombay Bowler not a Wolseley, two completely different styles.  Scott.

Yes the "Bombay Bowler" pith helmets are private purchase and significantly different than the issue Wolseley Foreign Service Helmets. Some-times you can find the Wolseley Helmets complete with the formation sign or flash on ebay with the tin for under $250. British Militaria is very affordable right now. Just saw a named uniform belonging to a SOE Intelligence Agent Lt. Colonel that received the DSO for capturing the head Persian based German SD Agent as well as American Legion of Merit for intelligence services rendered to the US sell on ebay for under $600 shipped (from the UK).  Un-fortunately I did not get it. 

This ribbon group was worn by a WAC who volunteered during WW2. She had been born in Germany before coming to America with her family as a child. She spoke fluent German so the Army sent her to the Pacific Theater where she served post War in the North China command. Stayed in the Army, transferred to Air Force in 1947, for 20 years before retiring. Served in Germany during the Berlin Airlift.She was the Aunt of a good friend who gave me her Dogtag and ribbons. She’s buried at Arlington. 

Thank you. I thought this to be a genuine British Army Khaki Wolseley but it seems that genuine BA Khaki Wolseleys were not made after 1942. I was impressed by the RWR insignia which now appears to be added aftermarket. Clearly it belonged to a Lt. Col Pelkey in the US Army Transport Division, That part is genuine but it is not army issue. I have a beautiful 1917 British Navy Tress & Co W which came in a storage tin for $139 which seems much better value. Seriously considering cancelling purchase.

Thanks. I’m guessing the last is also a Belgium award. I wish I knew the soldiers name.
