Any ideas what I should keep in my WW2 field telephone box as it didn’t come with a field telephone?

  1. Well damn. I have a field telephone but no box. Seriously.

  2. That’s what happens when your parcel gets sent by Evri.

  3. I have the answer here which is the only answer and the correct answer.

    The answer is…*biscuits*.

  6. Really important things that you might need at a later date

  9. An action man on a spring that pops out when you open the lid

  10. Convert it into a custom Bluetooth speaker. I once planned to do that with, I think, a wooden ammo box. But I never found my roundtoit and then managed to buy a really nice ready made speaker on an Amazon deal for less money than the components I would have needed for the project. It would have been cool though.

  11. Use it as a case for your mobile phone when out and about.

  12. Old-school Nokia 3310. There are adaptors to connect the round pin charger to a USB power bank. Bit of EMP shielding and you’ve got an updated emergency comms system.

  19. Join r/PcMasterRaceBuilds

    Take the enigma machine as your style guide.

  20. Brand new top of the line phone along with scribblings of historical events and dates, then bury it and let some metal detectorist in a few decades time find it and think that we had WW2 timetravelers

  22. Biscuits, sewing kit to replace the 1983 biscuit tin or cigars

  24. When the phone lines went down HQ had to resort to pigeons to carry messages.

    You know what to do.

  26. Keep your smartphone in it and carry it around with you.

  27. I have some old ammo boxes that I use for tools. (Wooden wine boxes also work great). It’s a kind of modular system with drills and bits in one, small hand tools in another, wood working, automotive etc. You just grab the box or boxes you need for each task
