I have just returned from the Somme region after visiting my friend who is digger in this region. I was able to obtain this helmet from the Wood Lane region. On a brocante market in Albert, I found a nice obus in which Somme is engraved. I named the lamp "the tears of the Somme" for the untold suffering this battle inflicted on mankind.
