Norm,

Thankyou for the reply and the picture , Ive got some good news, I just found the chap that gave this to a family member is still alive and well and have arranged to meet with him on the 22 of this month. He worked at C.I.L. in the mid 40s and has lots of stories to tell.

For those who dont know C.I.L.... first they make paint nowadays among other things chemical related. In the 40s they were a big supplier of all explosive devices (mines grenades artillery shells etc.) After the war it peetered out in the late 70s.
Location is Nobel ontario were a massive explosion would only kill about 400 people (very rural)

Anyways, there are artillery shells still being found in certain locations of Georgian bay where they dumped all the leftovers off a barge.
