WW1 Canadian CEF Dismounted Pattern Canteen and Carrier

This title refers to a vintage WW1 Canadian CEF Dismounted Pattern Canteen and Carrier. A significant artifact from the Great War, this kit was used by the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF) soldiers. It features a dismounted pattern, meaning it was designed for troops on foot rather than mounted cavalry. The canteen, often made of durable material like stainless steel or tinned iron, was used for carrying water during the harsh conditions of war. Accompanying the canteen is the carrier, typically made of sturdy canvas or leather, designed to hold the canteen securely and attach it to a soldier’s kit. The canteen and carrier set is not only a historical artefact but also a symbol of the hardships faced by soldiers during WW1. This unique item gives a deep insight into the day-to-day life of a WW1 Canadian soldier.
