Re: "candle box"
I think a lot of that little stuff originally pictured in Lord's can be questionable as far as being "period", but I have yet to find anything concrete to definitely say the "knapsack matches" were around during the war or otherwise. It's probably best to leave them out of any war time impression for now. IMHO, I would bank on them being a post-war keepsake for veterans organizations. Certainly don't want to hijack this thread, but would be interested in other's thoughts as well.
