Well done! That is an impressive Wolseley.

Here is a Safari group completely outfitted.

An interesting group of men in their respective head gear.

I think he's second from right........

The camouflage on a pith helmet was so effective that the British often stumbled upon scores of sleeping predators without realizing it. Shhh ... we wouldn't want to wake them.

Cheers!

A Passage to India. Wouldn't be complete without a pith helmet or two.

"Monty Python, Empire"!? What!?! Was this a sketch? Admittedly, I haven't seen all the movies, but...what was this a part of? I can't seem to find hide, nor hair of it on the internet.

EDIT: Never mind, found it: "Monty Python- The Meaning of War"

 

[DNO]

I think this thread is big enough for two Wingates... Orde Wingate in this case.

One has to wonder what that was all about. Floor length dresses with leg-of-mutton sleeves and muskets and pith helmets? Odd.

This was some of the text that went with the picture Sarge.

Cadet Life, 1890.
Five young women wearing cadet white pith helmets and holding cadet rifles. The women are not identified; possibly daughters of faculty members.

This would make a fun avatar.

Travel in the Empire.

Cheers!

Another of Orde Wingate.
