Here we have the template of this bust...:



... this strangely ribbed "Tommy" helmet (a Portuguese M1916) corresponds to the template...:

Very nice to see a Portuguese soldier portrayed. I would like an option for him to be wearing the helmet instead though. The Portuguese were known as ‘Pork and Cheese’ and ‘Tony’, but more often as ‘Pork and Beans’, the name of a meal soldiers at the Front recognised all too well.

The order is the Portugese "Cruz de Guerra", the soldier on the template-photo wears the 3rd class...



... the bust the 4th class...:

What is the significance of the hole in the steel helmet?

What is the significance of the hole in the steel helmet?

Possibly a air vent ?
