Jager-Rand manufactured and fitted the internal head linings (liner bands and cradles) for the South African-produced steel helmets—commonly referred to as the South African Mark I* or Mark II.
Helmet Production Partner: While companies like the Transvaal Steel Pressing Syndicate (TSP) stamped the 20-gauge manganese steel shells (often featuring the distinctive three rear rim holes used for attaching a sun-protection neck flap or havelock), Jager-Rand assembled and delivered the completed headwear to the Union Defence Forces and the Eastern Group Supply Council.
These helmets were widely issued to South African troops, the British Eighth Army ("Desert Rats") British 1st Army in North Africa, Commonwealth forces, and Indian military units.
