MKII helmet with hand markings
 

Hi all,

I have a MKII helmet with some hand markings. Looks like B90437. Is There a way to identify the soldier unit? There is a name as well. There are no markings in the shell.

Thank you

B90437
 

This number was in the number grouping allotted to

No. 2 District Depot, Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps.

Toronto was the depot and the number was assigned to the individual

When he was sworn in. He kept it forever.

Thank you Sir,

Thank you much,

This is a pretty interresting searching process. I am inquiring to find Where the gentleman wearing the helmet was during the war and in which unit. We are also trying to find on Which Canadian Corvette my wife grand-father was. I was told he went in the pacific ocean as well. We have a picture of him with his uniform when he maried in february 1945.

Finally, i found a Canadian militia document in French dated 1858 to my great great grand father. I want to identify it but did not included a picture since not relates directly to this site subject. Can someone tell me where to go.

Thank you
