Military equipment - World War II
Estou traduzindo um conto de Frank O'Connor. O autor menciona o termo, relacionado à II Guerra Mundial, no seguinte trecho: "Each time he left a trail of souvenirs - model tanks and Gurkha knives with handles made of bullet cases, and German helmets and cap badges and button sticks, and all sorts of military equipment - carefully stowed away in a long box on top of the wardrobe, in case they ever came in handy."
