Sweet Heart Notes
I always like finding these personal touches when opening WW2 surplus parts. Both of these notes originated in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada. Maybe I can get a date? Even a double-date! .... Brian

Nice. When they put that there 70 odd years ago with no greater motive than to make someone smile they probably never envisioned that it would be more than one person and well into the next century before it happened.
Good luck with the date!

Brian,
Write them back and see what happens? Be careful about any attempts of meeting for a date though. Could be awkward! Let us know what happens! Regards,Derk

What an awesome find! Perhaps it is possible to trace the notes back to the writers or their families here in Oshawa.

Norma 168gr ammunition
For a while the issue sniper rifle ammunition was Swedish Norma 168gr HPBTM. Each box of 20 has a little card with the packer's name. I remember some that 'Irene' packed. I told that story to a colleague is was a sniper in 3RCR(?) and his wife's name is Irene. Yes, he remembered it well!
