This may indicate a colonial/military link of some kind. That said, the fact that it was in a garden might make bee keeping a more likely link. Without the face veil down, some bee keeping headgear can look quite similar to pith helmets.

Does anyone know much about these objects or else where I might be able to find out a little bit more. It was uncovered in the garden of a house dating from post 1947 but obviously could have come from elsewhere with a former occupant.
