Wonderful. Thank you. I have always admired vimy ridge and as a bit of a history freak myself been fascinated with this sort of thing. I wanted to confirm that is what I had though.
It's in nearly MINT condition. Apparently what happened is my great uncle died on Vimy Ridge, and all his friend could get off of him was his ammo (took it for survival) but sent it to my family when he survived the war. I thought he made it back alive, but he died in the war.
