Hello everyone,

Just wanted to share pictures of a neat jacket that I picked up at an estate sale recently. When I got home I was surprised to find some identification tucked in the front pocket. You never know for sure but I’m assuming that he (Robert G. Canard) was the owner. According to NARA records, Mr. Canard was drafted in 1941 at the age of 28. He entered the service in Richmond, Va. Mr. Canard was from Upperville in Fauquier County, Virginia, which is big horse country. Prior to the war he worked as a stableman on a horse farm. Just a guess, but his proximity to Washington, D.C. (Washington Army Group) and civilian work experience may have influenced his army unit and assignment to the CBI. Could he have been an army mule skinner? Mr. Canard passed away in 1975 and at that time lived in Front Royal, Virginia. Interestingly, this Northern Virginia town was the location of the Front Royal Remount Depot where he possibly may have worked or trained at some point during his service.

I was curious about the CBI patch…..Does it look theater-made?

Thanks for looking.

Tom

One seemingly difficult bit of British Empire kit to find is the "Mug, Enamel". These mugs were widely issued to troops all over the Empire and could hold one pint of fluid. They seem to have been adopted during the Great War and were used into the postwar years.

Below is a selection of these enameled mugs. From left to right, top to bottom: A British-made mug used from WWI to early WWII, An Australian-manufactured mug, a typical reproduction mug made in only 12 ounces, an Indian-made mug from 1944 and a pair of later war British-made brown mugs.

The white British-made mug with the blue rim and handle has its original label. It was made by Jury, a firm which made brown and green mugs later in the war. It also states that the mug is "acid proof". Note the three dots on the base, which is where the mug stood on a stand during the firing process to dry the enamel (thanks Ade for this one!).

This mug was made in the Commonwealth of Australia and features a ‘Department of Defence’ mark impressed into the metal on the bottom. I believe this mark was adopted some time in the Interwar years, so the mug was produced some time after this. From what I have seen, the Australian Army made these mugs in a variety of colors, opting for the more traditional white and blue design here.

The Government of India produced these mugs during the war and possibly earlier. This example is made in green enamel by Bengal Enamel in May of 1944. Note the soldered seem along the handle as well as the raised rim on the base.

Brown mugs were introduced during the Second World War (circa 1944) as they were less conspicuous than the old white enamel mugs. These did not tend to have markings during the war, though I have seen 1945 dates on late production examples. These mugs continued to be manufactured into the 1950s and are very similar in appearance. As a general rule, the wartime mugs are a darker shade of brown and have the aforementioned three dots discussed above. The two following examples are unmarked, but have a nice dark color and the dots from firing.

Hi Guys,

This helmet was sent to me today from France.
I was told 10 years ago my uncle had an old WWI German Pickelhaube stashed away and one day I could have it.
At least 3 people had seen it and said it was WWI German etc…
So in my mind it was and I forgot about it.

Well it’s not, ha ha.
The most confusing package I have ever received.

So, I’m looking at it and I’m thinking it’s Pre-WWII. It’s not WWI right? Late 30’s?
It’s French Artillery.

It’s a pleasant surprise but I’ve been studying Pickelhaube… ha ha.

Can someone please help me I.D it or send a link?

If it’s WWII, it’s in terrible condition and might’ve been dropped soon after the Germans invaded?

Cheers,

On this episode of "This Week in the War Room" I decided to pull out Goldgelb piped Waffenrocks and display them for a while.
Included are Waffenrocks from Aufklärungs-Abteilung 3 (3. Panzer Division through the invasion of France, later sent to the Afrika Korps as part of the 5. leichte Panzer Division), Aufklärungs-Abteilung 4 (1. Panzer Division) and Reiter/Kavallerie-Regiment 18 (disbanded prior to the war and its elements used to form several Aufklärungs-Abteilungen).

Every now and then I or someone I am close to comes accross some old piece of military memorabilia, and I want to join in order to be able to locate a similar thread or ask about something I have and can’t find online. My family isn’t military (last member fought back in WWII, but I never met him), but this sort of stuff intrigues me and is fun to learn about. My hobbies outside of relic hunting include blacksmithing and fixing broken things (anything and everything to some degree or another).
