ROYAL MUNSTER FUSILIERS, A RARE 1915 PATTERN BI-COLOURED FEATHER HACKLE for wear on the Wolseley pattern overseas service helmet, green and white feathers bound to a brass fixing post.

The binding attaching the feathers to the fixing post on this hackle indicates that it was probably made in Cairo circa 1915. This is a rare original hackle, not a modern reproduction one.
