Can anybody identify these items. Uncovered during civil engineering work in France recently. Cleared by EOD on site. Helmets included in the photo to give scale id1.jpg DSC_0132.jpg
 
I think I might have answered my own question. The tins are for holding no.3 Grenade detonators. Long shot, but does anybody have a picture of one? It was the tin cylinder no.121 (thanks to Norman & Rick Landers for this info).
 
Hope this is of some use. I think this maybe one of Snufkin's images (apologies if so) although I have a paper version somewhere.
