WW1 Early Dated 1908 Webbing Equipment Large Pack & Straps.

This example was carried by Able Seaman Harry Holtom RN, but prior to this by a Royal Marine. The large back has a date stamp which appears to be 1910. Complete with two straps these dated 1916. The pack with heavy RN stamp of H Holton, but also to be seen is the name Holmes in pencil and also ink stamp PO 160?8 DVD Holmes to the straps. Overall dusty as found condition from an attick or shed.

I have found listed a Royal Marine Po.16408 Private David Holmes Royal Marines who enlisted in 1912. He saw service in HMS Hampshire and the Royal Marine Brigade
From the Estate of WW1 Able Seaman Harry Holtom  RN
