Off topic being Home Front but some people on here seem to have an interest in Home Front and as you don't see my my latest find very often I thought it was worth showing. The second bottle I have had for a wile but you don't see its carrier that often.
St Johns Ambulance Brigade water bottle and integral carrier, its a undated MK.V1 bottle with black felt and black leather loops sawn directly on to the felt for the carrying straps to go through, the metal used on the cork stopper is brass and so is the chain and loop attaching it to the carrying straps I don't know when it was made but with it being a MK.V1 bottle it could be anywhere between 1903 and 1939 although I am thinking between the wars. The second St Johns Ambulance Brigade water bottle shown is a standard MK.V11 bottle which was introduced in 1939 but in a M.K.11 general service carrier which was introduced In 1905.
