    Boer War Medical Kit......


    Recommended Posts

    Good Afternoon ladies and Gentlemen.....

    Please find attached photos of a Boer War period medical kit.... It was originally made to be mounted on a pack or belt but I guess it was to heavy / awkward to use that way so it had those fittings removed you can see the remnants on the back and a shoulder strap was put on.....

    Some of the contents are dated 1899 and 1901 other pieces are blank....

    As you can see some items are missing....

    Hope you enjoy....

    Mike

    Very interesting. I have never seen one of those before. It has obviously belonged to a doctor, presumably a surgeon, in view of those scalpels. Not something you'd want to see in the hands of an RAMC orderly!
