I tried the Bren, the Enfield, and the FNs in those valise, and none of them was a particularly good fit. There were certainly a lot of them that came out of rivers....they had to be for something common.

Just took apart a WWII American M1 helmet and liner to clean up and found some interesting markings. Guaranteed the liner is not original to the helmet but inside the liner is a service number SH 4978. The outside has Corporal stripes and on the top some kind of formation sign. Anybody recognize the symbol of a Diamond shape black and red. Note the corporal stripes are American and not Canadian but the inside service number I believe is Canadian being a SH number like the drop bag has on it.
In the helmet is marked 042 and the last name LAKE. On the front inside of the rim is marked another name MACISAAC. Sure would be a lot easier to research with rank and serial number as well. With the SH 4978 number I can practice my researching skills now! Derk
