Model 1927 Vickers Irish Army Military Helmet

Colonne de soldats de l'armée de terre irlandaise avec le casque Vickers modèle 1927, copie du casque allemand M16 de la première guerre mondiale – Blarney – Irlande – 1940

Elle participa à la sécurisation des côtes face aux envahisseurs allemands et autorisa le survol de son territoire par les avions alliés qui empruntaient la voie atlantique. L'Irlande joua également un rôle considérable dans le contre-espionnage sur son sol.
