Post; Canteen


Hey guys,

I need some help. I have a good friend that has a WWII canteen A.K.A. M-1917 canteen.
There is a name and number on the canteen,is there anyway to find the person who owned the canteen. Are there records, or a search I can do on the name or number?

Thanks

I think you can search the name or number through the war registry. Is it belonging to US or Britsh or German? or any other country?

It's a U.S. Canteen.

So you search the War registry? I think you can call the US army hotline to direct you there! Because I am not in America, I can't help you much!
