| A 17th Light Dragoons Officers helmet captured at Yorktown or the Hook and on display in the Musee D'lemperi, France. Our helmets are copied from this helmet, and molds were made from the metalwork so we can faithfully reproduce them. It's possible that this helmet belonged to Major Cochrane who commanded a troop of 17th during the Southern campaign but was then transferred to Cornwallis's staff. Major Cochrane then had the dubious distinction of being tasked to surrender the British Army to Washington at Yorktown. |
