[can-talk] Assistance in Identification

To all who kindly replied to my email, the basket has now been  
identified.   It is a field surgical pannier used  extensively in the  
First and Second World Wars.   The chains on the back were designed  
so the basket could be mounted on a donkey or mule saddle.   Without  
chains they were designed to be stacked on vehicles and were used  
extensively by all British Commonwealth armies.  Some more research  
is now needed to find out how it came to the district and what  was  
it used for.
