In March, Ernst inspected the Guard Division troops, whose primary responsibility was the defense of the Central Province and First Town City, making it the most frequently inspected East African military unit.
During this visit to the Guard Division, the most noticeable change was the introduction of helmets for the first time in the East African military.
Therefore, Lidley, the commander of the 101st Guard Division, deliberately introduced Ernst to the origins and characteristics of this military helmet.
"Your Highness, this helmet is also known as the 1885 style, designed as a military steel helmet for the Defense Army to address the potential dangers posed by stray bullets and shrapnel to soldiers in battlefield environments during positional warfare."
The visor adopts the traditional German design, making the entire helmet body look quite similar to the traditional military helmet of the German region—a spiked helmet, with some similar features."
