CMP first aid kit...Rare as hen's teeth

[Ian Fawbert]

Hi Rob,

My guess is that since they don't look very military (unlike the 12 and 24 unit US ones), they have passed many of us by!

Thanks for posting and also to Doug for the pics!

(On a side note, does anyone know if this is just a Canadian kit or the same as the Australian trucks?).

Cheers,
Ian.

Thanks for sharing. I wasn't familiar with these. I'll keep my eyes peeled when I'm out and about and let you know if I find anything.

a Canadian company still in existence, I Facebooked the Ebay link to the historical part of their web page and I got a "LIKE" friom someone at their office. No reference to their connection to Canadian military history on that page.

I Emailed the seller of the EBay kit last night as to the size of the metal tin. His reply was 11cm long, 9cm wide and 6cm high. Very compact for a first aid box.
