I will post this in the cool picture thread too.

I recently lost both of my parents (Mom March 2nd, Dad March 18th) and have been up in northern BC clearing out their residence for the last two weeks. Dad spoke many times of a lighter case that my Grandfather had with him at Vimy. He said Grandad carved a date into it with his bayonet at some point while he was there. Dad could never remember where it was and I always wanted to see it. Long story short, I found it and was amazed especially because of the date carved into it. I thought I should share.
