As I look at the helmet I found on Flanders fields, It reminds me of how the person wearing it would have felt, It was an old war helmet which had the poppy red medic cross on the sides which were painted on.
It would have belonged to one of the war nurses, it was camouflage green despite that very important emblem.
Those soldiers would have shouted as they fell “ Help I’m injured!”
It was worn out and damaged due to the shots of destruction and rubble that had been fired at it, it would have been on the head of that heroic medic, which would have ran to help the injured soldiers as they fell to the ground with a sudden clash of their armor hitting the ground and lying still.
It was not much of protection because it was just a mould of heavy and sluggish metal, but it was enough to slow down and attempt to block a bullet or piece of deadly shrapnel which would lead to the life of a loyal soldier who fought for his country!
