With a major typhoon uprooting trees all over Hong Kong, I thought I’d take out my XP Deus and check in the tree roots for some relics. Lo and behold, in the roots of one toppled tree I found a full 303 clip and a few other items including a Royal Artillery collar insignia and Royal Artillery button. All near Wong Nai Chung Gap. #metaldetecting #xpdeus #battleforhongkong ww2history #japaneseww2 #britishww2 #canadaww2
The Devils Brigade were the worlds first special forces unit of its kinds, assembled during WW2 and made of American and Canadian soldiers who would fight side by side under an American general. The reason Canadians were added is because they needed people who were strong in extreme cold climates and had outdoor skills like skiing etc. They were the most elected soldiers in WW2 and they were trained to be able to survive on very little, and were trained to use he enemies weapons when they were out of ammo. This brigade is the basis behind modern special forces
Found near the splinter proof shelters around the Wong Nai Chung Gap Anti Aircraft battery. Kolynos Dental Cream - very popular in the 30s and 40’s. Found in the dirt with British webbing buckles, insignia and bullets. (And the remains of a great many shaving brushes - more on that later). #metaldetecting #xpdeus #battleforhongkong #ww2history #japaneseww2 #britishww2 #canadaww2

For Sale or Trade - Make me an offer WW2 Canadian officer Battledress dated 1943. This date is fairly scarce as most of the Battledress’s you find today are 1944-‘45 dated. This is an unlined open collar Battledress, with a well worn two year overseas chevrons. Buckle has a little rust underneath the cylinder ring. The Battledress has an open collar and was War time tailored. For sale make me an offer. #militariaforsale #canadianarmy #ww2 #militaria #battledress #officer #worldwar2 #wwii #armyuniform #vintageuniform #1943 #normandy #dday #canadaww2 #followforfollowback

A brass Canadian Army General Service button with the motto “honi soit qui maly pense”. Manufactured in Montreal by Wm. Scully Ltd. Dug up in the hills near Wong Nai Chung Gap - and quite near the site that commemorates where Sergeant-Major JR Osborn, VC of the Winnipeg Grenadiers died throwing himself on a Japanese grenade on December 19, 1941. #metaldetecting #xpdeus #battleforhongkong ww2history #japaneseww2 #britishww2 #canadaww2
WW2 RCAMC Lieutenant Khaki Drill Tab. This would’ve been issued to troops in North Africa and Italy. Looks to be in near mint condition with the exception of one pip having two of its stitches come loose. #canadaww2 #elalamein #ww2 #ortona #rcamc #army #canadianarmy #war #hitlerline #militaria #worldwar2 #wwii #medic
A British Army brass button polisher. With some sort of number - and a faint patent number with date - looks like 1917. The indents etc on the polisher fit perfectly around the various pieces of British webbing I’ve found around the hills of Hong Kong. Found alongside other British and Japanese relics near Wong Nai Chung Gap. #metaldetecting #xpdeus #battleforhongkong ww2history #japaneseww2 #britishww2 #canadaww2
