A very nice example of a

World War Two

British Army

Pocket Field Signalling Mirror

in its 'Jungle Green' Cotton Cover

dated 1945

Used in the jungles of Burma by the

British 14th Army

these small mirrors were a vital piece of equipment

for signalling to fellow units under fire

from the Japanese Forces.

Even more importantly, they were also used

during  over-flying airborne drops by the RAF

to signal up to the pilots of

Transport Command

in their 

Douglas C-47s & Curtiss C-46s

the exact locations as to where the vital re-supply drops should be placed.

Measuring approx 4" x 3" and maker-marked 

WTL 1945 

it is in an excellent, issued & used condition.
