<p dir="ltr">Having lived in Norfolk for a few years, you may want to forward your inquiry over that way. The cannery is in a pretty small village and their archival society might be of some help in recognizing this or knowing to what extent the tins may have been exported abroad to Canada.</p>

<p dir="ltr">You can also contact the Royal Norfolk Regimental Museum in Norwich if you're sure it's military. They could tell you whether these were for Air Force, etc.</p>

Seems awful late in the date to be a cold war bomb shelter item.</div><div><br></div><div>Any leads or suggestions would be welcome as it is cool none the less and we would love to display it if it does have some military connection.
