Default please take no offence

You are getting into, or are a current reenactor. Please remember this.... when a soldier needs a piece of kit replaced, he take whatever the heck he is issued, weather it be Canadian, British, Aussie, NZ, or Indian. Doesn't matter. OK execpt for the India made stuff, not up to the others standards and tended to fall apart.

If you want to be 100% correct and you are doing say a 1st Cdn In Div impression...Don't use Cnd gear. It won't be right. LOL what I mean by this is....the 1st Div went to the UK in 1939 with mainly P08 gear. They were kitted with P37 Gear in teh UK therefore no Cdn Gear available. I have a photo some where of my uncle Harv, Hasty Pees in 1939 just prior to shipping out overseas, he is P08.
