Default MKII helmet with hand markings

Hi all,

I have a MKII helmet with some hand markings. Looks like B90437. Is There a way to identify the soldier unit? There is a name as well. There are no markings in the shell.

Thank you

Default B90437

This number was in the number grouping allotted to

No. 2 District Depot, Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps.

Toronto was the depot and the number was assigned to the individual

When he was sworn in. He kept it forever.

Can someone guide where to search for additional information. I would like to find the unit as well as the theatre or operation where this individual served. Any searching tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Default Military information research

Thank you much,

This is a pretty interresting searching process. I am inquiring to find Where the gentleman wearing the helmet was during the war and in which unit. We are also trying to find on Which Canadian Corvette my wife grand-father was. I was told he went in the pacific ocean as well. We have a picture of him with his uniform when he maried in february 1945.

Finally, i found a Canadian militia document in French dated 1858 to my great great grand father. I want to identify it but did not included a picture since not relates directly to this site subject. Can someone tell me where to go.

Thank you

François Tellier
