**NEW**RAREST
OF THE RARE ! - WWII British Tank Commander's Helmet ( DUG Libya,
TOBRUK AFRICA )
WW2 British Tank Crew Helmet Found in Libya The basic MkI paratrooper
helmet shell was not exclusively used by the airborne divisions.
The Royal Armoured Corps adopted the basic MkI paratrooper shell
with the addition of the liner of the “Helmet, Steel,
MkII.” From the outside, it is actually easy to recognize
that one of these tanker-modified shells is not a paratrooper
helmet. It will have a single rivet at the top of the dome,
and one rivet on each side for the chinstrap mount. This helmet
was officially designated “Helmet, Steel, Royal Armoured
Corps, MkI.” This helmet was one of two found in Libya,
North Africa. The condition of the shell is solid but relic
with some minor holes at the top. Non-Dug ( Less attractive
to me lol ) go in the high 100's ..

Civil
War Collecting is a Fun and Enjoyable Hobby but there are much more
important things in Life. Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson and
thousands of common soldiers relied upon a Devine Guidance from above
to see them thru the Civil War.
Robert
E. Lee as well as Jackson constantly gave praise to the Almighty in
both Victory and defeat. These great men knew that the most important
thing in Life was a personal relationship with a Loving Savior. Please
visit one of my favorite sites to learn more about the source of strength
for these 2 great men. God's
Plan of Salvation
An
occasion in Feb. 1864 best illustrates the Faith of " General
Lee ". The Rev. J.W. Jones and Rev. B.T. Lacy were visiting with
Lee one evening at his headquarters on the Rapidan. After the meeting
they were about to leave Lee's tent when Mr. Lacy said, " I think
it right that I say to you , general, that the chaplains of the army
have a deep interest in your welfare and the most fervent prayers
are offered on your behalf." The old hero's face flushed
with tears and he replied with deep emotion: Thank them for
that, sir, I warmly appreciate it. And I can only say that I am nothing
but a poor sinner, trusting in Christ alone for salvation, and need
all of the prayers they can offer me."
Robert
E. Lee was known to use this prayer when asking grace over the daily
meal: "Lord, send us anywhere, only accompany us.
Place any burden upon us, only sustain us. Sever any ties except that
which bind us to Thy heart. Bless this food to the nourishment of
our bodies, and our souls to the service of Christ."
CSA
General " Stonewall " Jackson from his headquarters near
Hamilton's crossing VA. made this quote shortly before his death."
Nothing earthly can mar my happiness. I know that heaven is in store
for me; and I should rejoice at the prospect of going there tomorrow.
Understand me: I am not sick, I am not sad: God has blessed me; I
have as much to love here as any man, and life is bright to me. But
still I am ready to leave it any day. . . for that heaven that I know
awaits me.
