The helmet is odd, as it seems to have the shape of a sola topi or pith helmet, a type of headgear worn by much of the Union Defence Force before and during the Second World War. However it is fitted with wings in the tradition of the theatrical Viking helmet (an invention of the Wagnerian opera tradition, rather than having any basis in the actual helmets worn by real-life Vikings). The allusion to Vikings arises out of the fact that the township of Valhalla is named for the warriors’ heaven of Norse legend. | The helmet is odd, as it seems to have the shape of a sola topi or pith helmet, a type of headgear worn by much of the Union Defence Force before and during the Second World War.
