This is a great find Kradman! WWI British dressings seem to be quite scarce!

Just one small correction, this is a 'First Field Dressing' as worn in the internal pocket of the SD Jacket, rather than the larger 'Shell Dressing'. Two of these dressings would have originally been packed into a fabric cover like this one...



A shell dressing from the period would have looked like this...
