"I would suggest tabling this
part of the discussion until you have taken the time to read in detail a
copy of "Helmets and Body Armour in Modern Warfare" by Bashford Dean to give
you a basic grounding in the subject."

Rather hard to do since this work has been out of print since 1919 (!) Fancy
that...

An Amazon search turned up nothing. A Yahoo and Google search (+"helmets and
body armour in modern warfare" bashford dean) turned up exactly two
references (his name is Dean Bashford, not Bashford Dean apparently) --

Bashford, Dean: Helmets and body armour in modern warfare, Defense
Intelligence Agency, 1919.

I am unable to find a copy of this ancient tome, but it is no longer
protected by copyright (it probably never was, since it was apparently a US
government publication). Therefore, please feel free to scan the relevant
sections and email them to me. Alternatively, you could perhaps suggest a
more modern work that supports your apparent contention that armor offered
considerable protection from firearms through 1730-ish.
