Research regarding Cookers, Portable, No. 2

[Colin Alford]

Jesse,

Understood. I have been in Sexton but I did not pay any attention to the area in question and you are definitely better qualified than I to speak about the challenges of trying to accommodate a British Cooker in the available space.

During the research I did look through some files relating to the Sexton that included documents about the stowage but they all seemed to relate to the changes that happened between Sexton I and Sexton II. I did not find any mention of changes desired or implemented regarding stowage of the Cooker.

I presume that the field expedient would have been to find a different place to stow the British Cooker.

Ed,

Thanks for your comments and for posting the report.

The report seems to help confirm that the British Cooker was not the type that was in common use in Canada at the time.

Attached is one page of the long list of items that were tested during those cold weather trials. If you follow the link you can scroll through the other pages of the document.
