In June my father and stepmother moved, downsizing in the face of my father's age and declining health. Part of the downsizing was giving us kids and relations a lot of stuff and junking the rest. I snatched this cane from the junk pile as I need one on occasion when my back goes out of whack, and I was sick of my aluminum hospital style one.
I've had need of it for the last couple of days when my finger brushed a metal plaque nailed to the wood. I hadn't seen the plaque as I'm color blind and it had tarnished into camouflage. Turns out the cane is a "1941 Sir Jeffrey Hillspig-Smyth Burmese Army Trekking Stick".
