Don Manley is a member of our Archive Team. He told me, ” Among the many items in our archives, we have a military issue hold all. This would not be something out of the ordinary, as millions must have been made.
This one, however, is in mint condition and was made by the Berlin Trunk and Bag Company, Ltd. in Berlin, Ontario, which of course became Kitchener on September 1st, 1916, in WW I.
Whether this bag dates from that era, we cannot be sure. “
The CAFM commemorates the role and history of 19 Wing (CFB/RCAF/RAF), documenting significant achievements in West Coast Military Aviation History.
Founded in 1982 as part of the Air Force Indoctrination School, CAFM was accredited as a stand-alone Canadian Forces Museum and officially opened its doors to the public on 12 September 1987.
