Default Heritage wek Comox valley

It took 5 days to set the display up fortunately I am only 5 blocks away from the mall.
My display has proven to be very popular. I have had a number of army vets go through and wax nostalgic about their time in the army.
One world war 2 vet who was the no 1 on a bren was tickled pink to hold a bren gun again.
He's almost 90, near blind and had a huge grin on his face.
Another vet asked me if I had a 58 set as he had carried one during the war.
I am still in the process of gathering parts for the 58 set.
