Very nice boxes. Your box looks familiar waff, was i bidding against you a while back:smile:
 
Hi Waff,
Your box was for all the fuze items and accessories;
washers, adapters, trip wire ect.
The container for s-mines was either wood or metal and held 3 mines - will try and post pics in a couple of days.

Lovely containers engineer!

So my box was probably carried independantly from your type?
I imagine one man with the mines and his pal with the fuzes?

cheers
