Notes
During their march across Europe, Royal Canadian Air Force ground crew had to dig "graves" beside their camoflauged planes in which to sleep. At one farm in Normandy, Mr. Lecker made friends with a farmer because he was the only one who spoke French. The farmer gave Mr. Lecker this spirit lamp to keep warm and to light up his "grave". Consists of one spirit lamp, brass.
