Attach are a few private purchased Commonwealth knives we've dug up over the years. Some came from north of the border and a few from England. Most are WW II period, I'd like to know what you guy's were carrying. Any input will be gladly received, :cheers: -SDH

Oddly enough, my Grandfather (landed at Juno D-day, 2nd wave with the REME) carried a German made Solingen hunting knife - go figure. I suspect he bought it a few years before the war.

D-Day brought a lot of new knives to the shores of France. My partner in crime is a Ka-bar collector the likes of which I've never seen, but, I don't know if he actually has a knife that went to Europe through the beach in France. He's got so many but, none of them have talked yet, hum-SDH
