The Museum is at the old CFB base Chilliwack (Sardis), Tanks and a lot of heavy armor, Check website.

I had to buy CMP's to carry my gas mask displays
Started with world war gas warfare and soon to be broke.

The man who survived Mustard gas and pepper spray is now a seasoned
Veteran.

All kidding aside.. If there is a gas mask expert out there please contact me about doing a book/booklet through Service Publications.

Winston Churchill was accused of ordering a cover-up of an
encounter between a UFO and an RAF aircraft in the second World
War because he feared a 'panic' and a loss of faith in religion,
according to newly-released secret files

Don't know how to type this in green.

Canada, any era. Perhaps an overview from WW1 to ???
My Weapons of War series booklets require 6,000-6,500 words of original research, backed up with archival sources. Most have been on vehicle and artillery but I would like to expand the scope to include other fields, including Small Arms, field equipment and Army formations.
To see a list of existing and future titles go to www.servicepub.com/weapons.html

Excellent website, how did I not know, bookmarked
Canada was a Mfg. of gas masks for the commonwealth not much change
from WW1 to near the end of WW2.
Veteran captain James Bond (rtd.) volunteer at Vimy house was the real expert,
he worked on gas warfare at Porton Downs in the UK after the war.
Lived in Ottawa. I have some pictures of his from a chat/interview.
Would you include ARP? I have a picture of Canada mfg gas masks from a Asbestos site. ARP is Air raid Precautions and also called Air Raid Patrol.
I have many papers issued for the CD and ARP. I would buy the book.
Referring to Peter (NBCD) he is considered a expert in research and gas warfare.

Clive,
As a collector of Canadian military equipment I would like to see specific items researched and documented like gas masks as well as other worthy items to cover.For a collector to have a reference book on what he collects is worth it's weight in gold when an item can be properly identified.I have in my Civil Defence collection a Mk VII gas mask bag that has Civil Defence Canada stencilled on the front.I also have a service respirator with A.R.P. stencilled on the cannister and would like to know more details of these items.


Dennis sounds like a good candidate to write that book.
Regards,Derk.
