Original pre-WWII commercial export field bottle manufactured in Japan during the 1920s or 1930s. During this era, Japanese aluminum manufacturers stamped their civilian-market exports with localized nature motifs such as a soaring crane or eagle over Mount Fuji or stylized mountain peaks framed inside a circular border such as the one on the base of this canteen. Many Japanese soldiers, particularly officers and infantrymen, frequently purchased their own tactical gear from commercial department stores or military supply shops before being deployed. Allied troops fighting in the Pacific routinely collected Japanese field gear as combat trophies. Item belonged to and probably souvenired by John Williams JAMES born 4/5/1922 at Benalla.

This flare pictured is one of three lighting or signal flares. These are pyrotechnic devices used at sea, mainly as a distress signal. However, they have other meanings when used for naval purposes, such as the executive order to start a particular manoeuvre. These are usually packaged as part of a distress pack containing all necessary rockets or flares for immediate use, in any emergency, by ships and off-shore yachts.This set of three flares is significant for its connection with local history, maritime history and marine technology. Lifesaving has been an important part of the services performed from Warrnambool's very early days, supported by State and Local Government, and based on the methods and experience of Great Britain. Hundreds of shipwrecks along the coast are evidence of the rough weather and rugged coastline. Ordinary citizens, the Harbour employees, and the volunteer boat and rescue crew, saved lives in adverse circumstances. Some were recognised as heroes, others went unrecognised. In Lady Bay, Warrnambool, there were around 16 known shipwrecks between 1850 and 1905. Many lives were saved but tragically, eight lives were lost.Flare; mushroom coloured cylinder, metal base with wooden top joined to it. Base has removable cap with metal encased wooden fuse attached, which holds seven removeable pegs and rings. String threaded through top holes has a wooden peg attached. Top also has holes drilled on opposing sides through which the peg would fit. Inscriptions stamped in black on base, and impressed into cap.
