WW2 1943 Dated J. Heathcoat & Co Helmet Mosquito Net

A very well constructed and beautifully marked on the inside WW2 era helmet mosquito net. In the tropical and jungle regions the threat of yellow fever and Malaria transmitted by mosquitos was a real problem and various styles of protective helmet fitted net were designed, most had draw string bottoms but this one is angled to hang lower at the back and tuck into the uniform, marked on the inside for J. Heathcoat & Co with the date of 1943 and the broad arrow mark it comes (for its age) in very good condition, some of the netting is stained and there are a few holes.
