Hi Rob

Now that you have bought the funny looking can..... can you educate me as to its significance???? I have a couple in the barn...... looks like old gas/kerosene can used on old farmstead.

Were they used early in the service????

I have one already...I thought 2 would look even better.

Allies including Canadians had poison gas at or near the front to respond in kind if the Germans resorted to using it themselves. Chemical detection units were always near the front. An allied ship full of chemical weapons was bombed in an Italian port and thousands of civilians died from the gas.

Harry , that's a new one on me . Very interesting . You are awesome , again.

I have yellow paint on some of my vehicles and 42WLC that is suppose to change color when in poison gas I was told . The one on the 42 WLC is on the top of the box on the fender.Any thoughts on this?

Similar stories with the Australians, following frightening reports of Japanese chemical weapon use in China.

However, the only Australian casualties from Chemical weapons in WW2 were "own goals" within Australia during training, transport and storage.
