Newly Printed Book: Written by J. Anthony Carter and published by the Tharston Press. As many collectors will know J. ANTHONY CARTER, renowned for his GERMAN BAYONET BOOK SERIES in Four Volumes and many other works, died in 2002. Anthony was one of Christian Cranmer’s (IMA founder) very closest friends from virtually their boarding school years in England and was in fact the Godfather to Christian’s own son Alexander who now runs IMA.
Upon Anthony’s death, his works both published and in progress became Alexander’s and hidden away we discovered a partially completed manuscript covering the traditional “Tommy Helmet”. With the great help and expert understanding of John Walter, himself a noted Author, this small work has been completed and is now available in a hard bound, wipe clean color cover edition 9.5″ x 6.5″ of 80 pages outlining the development, manufacture and issue of these very collectible helmets. Including original photographs and color illustrations this is a useful work every helmet collector should own.
