The World War 1 kitbag of Major E.F. Farrell, Co. Meath of the Leinster Regiment [was it for this?, etc} containing folding bed, roll-out mattress, crying chair and a cooker with spirit lamps and phone charger.

      Probably one of those recreationist guys. Did you know they dug the largest replica trench system in Ireland and Britain in Cavan??

      People love vintage-retro-slaughter.

      But yes, that is a nice bag. If only my last name was Farrell.
