If anyone is interested, I also have 22 WWII helmets (19 GI Helmets with Belgian made inners, and 3 x Japanese Helmets) that we have found around our various Estates in Papua New Guinea. Some have names and service numbers on them still, and most are still in excellent condition, having been kept in our Stores Section here for over 30 years. Chances of finding the original owners of these items are very restricted, as you can imagine, but it would be nice to think we might also be able to get a few of these home, given time. The area that I work in at Gusap in PNG has quite a history during the removal of the Japanese here in 1943-45, and there a lot of "artifacts" still here from that period. Below link shows some of the local history/relics still here.
