Large ARP bag

[bananamafia]

Hi everyone this came into me today, i thought it was a first aid bag, but its size is throwing me off as is pretty large at approx 19 x 12 x 12 inches.

anyone know what it would have been for?
any pointers appreciated!

Quite obviously an ARP picnic hamper

Na, take a look at the link below. It shows one as an ARP first aid bag and shows the contents

D-Day and WW2

Thanks spitace!
Yes i found those images earier, but this one still seems a little too large to me i wondered if anyone out there has one?

I thought these were for carrying a blanket

thanks for your input guys, but I'm still at a little bit of a loss, as all the images of first aid bags i can seem to find seem smaller, and have loops etc for splints on the inside of flap, like this:



whereas mine has an internal divider to separate the main body into two compartments, which none of the first aid bags ive seen have.

If it was to carry blankets Kradman, would there be a need for the divider?

It does not match what I would expect a FA bag to look like, though I have no idea what it is, apart from the jumbo size it looks like a signals satchel, but obviously not.

any ideas on the makers mark SR?
