Sorry! But they are not Semper Fidelis ones! The "U.S.M.C." acronym
meaning escapes me at the moment but it is a jerry can manufacturer! In a
previous posting (IIRC, at the beginning of last year) there was a listing
of the many manufacturers including it.
Give me some time and I shall try to find it for you.
Perhaps, in the meantime, some member will come out.
Regards and
