    This is a fantastic display of every items. You could break the bank trying to put all this together. Thanks for taking the time to post photos of this. I recognize some of these items (referring to items I have in my own collection) but certainly not everything here is familiar to me.

    Thank you, I collected over time. I always look for the rations as for K-Ration, C-Ration or Emergency Ration, but not easy has to find.

    You have some nice items there.

    Does anyone know if the screw top on the water sterilization bottles post war? From what I read the WWII era ones had cork stopers. Can any one confirm this?

     The one I have in my collection is the cork topped variety.

    I have a large collection of WWII personal kit items that I hope to post pictures of one day.

    FIELD GEAR & PERSONAL ITEMS Empty Canadian Emergency Ration

    There are certainly a lot of collectors who want that particular ration to be from WWII.   If it is from WWII, there is no mention made of it in any of the wartime Canadian ration trials documents that I have researched.   I have my example classified as post-WWII although there is a chance that they were produced in 1945 for the lead-up for the planned war against Japan.   If they are from earlier in WWII, I would love to see an image of document to prove it.   Since Canadian manufactured rations were not used or issued in NW Europe, collecting British manufactured examples will ensure that you have pieces that are correct for the period.

    I recently brought back this rather tatty example of a wartime British Compo Ration crate from Europe.

    I,ve seen them come out of the ground overhere with screw on lids and also with cork stops, both from the same dump hole, so I think it varies per manufacturer, but for sure WW2.
