Please let me know: this Canadian guy come with U.S. or British helmet?

 

[PolarBear]

Here is a photo of a WWII Canadian helmet without the camouflage net. The WB figure appears to be wearing this type of helmet.

Thanx for the pic, Canadian troops had a particular helmet, thus?

Hi All!
This figure is wearing the Mark III helmet. It was put into production in November of 1943 and had a similar liner to the more recognizable MkII which was introduced in 1938.
Many of these MkIII helmets can be seen worn by infantry in the assault units for the June 6th Invasion in Normandy, including Canadian units.
Hope this helps.
