Iraqi Helmet, 7th Armoured Camo Shirt and Mess Tin. McCarthy, MP, Operation Granby. Desert Storm

Part of a small amount of Iraqi items brought back by a member of the 7th Armoured Division during operation Gramby in 91. The Iraqi helmet has a very nice divisional sign scratched to the front, no chips or cracks, liner system has been pulled out and the chinstrap cut from the side bales. McCarthy's shirt has his Armoured patch sewn to the arm and a home made rank slide to one shoulder strap. McCarthy signed his name and number to the inside. The mess tin has been used over a fire on numerous occasions and scrubbed clean as expected. Going by the rank slide he was a WO. Im sorry to say that Mr McCarthy gave little info on his exact unit but did say his job had him interrogating POW's.
