What is this box thing?

That is a 40mm Bofors ammo can. Ammo came four to a clip, four clips to the can. I have loaded many cans like on light cruisers during WWII.

Yes! That even makes sense. We still had QF Bofors around several years ago for air defence in Germany and the school in Gagetown NB.

Correct me if I am wrong but don't we still use the 40 Bofors on the MCDVs?

Yes, armed with one. But we don't have them in the other roles anymore...So Peter, we still have them. There would be a gun you worked on from your earliest apprenticeship and still could be pinching fingers in.
