Escape Kit-1) The large tube was likely tooth paste.
2) The Autostrop razor was made in England. A thin leather strap or belt was looped over a door knob then fed between two rollers on the razor (not visible here).Pulling the strap taught with one hand the razor was then pushed and pulled which flip-flopped the blade with each stroke honing it to a keen edge.
3) A tiny stick of shaving soap is seen next to the razor.
4) Tooth brush bristles must have been bio-degradable. The back may have been of whalebone or ivory.
5) So Gauloises are still available. Starting smoking in 1937 I quit in 1977 before it became a habit.
6) Next,I believe, are two Halizone tablets. While on a daytime journey to Freteval Forest Jonesy and I dissolved four of these in a wine bottle filled with water from a slime covered sheep bucket. We enjoyed it tasting of chlorine.
7) The Dalton computer was widely used in pilot and aircrew training. It strapped on to your leg.
8) The Aircrew Manual I never ran across. I aquired it a few years ago.
Although tardy I must add my congratulations to the composers of this fine new format. I am becoming more and more convinced that I did not win WWII all by myself. I had no desire to join the navy and be trapped underwater in a submarine. The army had powerful tanks but you could be caught inside and incinerated in a "brewup". This has taken long enough.
The hurrier I go the behinder I get. Cheers Alex Campbell
