Vest, armour, German, 1917 captured by 72nd Battalion, CEF. (Painted capture markings on centre of chest now partly scraped off, but Colin Stevens remembers it said 72nd Battalion). It may say " __ April 1917" which would make it Vimy Ridge. Worn by German snipers, sentries and machine gun crews. The attached photo from the website of Colin Stevens shows this body armour, a German WW I MP-18 submachine gun and a German Gewehr KAR 98 rifle. It was displayed in Case 3B of the Old Museum at the Seaforth Armoury. There is also a colour photo of a German POW wearing this armour.
