Wireless Set No.31

[Bruce Parker (RIP)]

I found this British No.31 Wireless set last weekend in a Toronto surplus store (just the set; I added the appropriate pack board, etc. from items on hand). The set has been re-painted in the usual post-war NATO green and, coming via a surplus store in Canada, I'm wondering if anybody has any knowledge of these sets being issued to Canadian forces.

The W/T No,31 was a British version of the standard WW2 American SCR-300 man pack set. It was developed in 1944 but not produced until 1946-47.
