These 2 stunning luggage trunks belonged to Lieutenant J.A.C Kiddle. Both trunks are from WW1 and we thought we would keep them together as one lot. These are perfect for World War collectors and historians. Display your items in your shop or use at home. Both have obvious signs of wear due to age but still display nicely. The smaller green trunk is metal lined and has two main locks which work perfectly. The central lock does not.
We found out a little about the owner of these trunks, a decorated WW1 Lieutenant and his details are below for those interested in the history of these trunks.
Service: Commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant in the 2nd Battalion of the 124th Baluchistan Light Infantry.
Campaigns: Served in the Mesopotamia Campaign and the Palestine Campaign.
Distinctions: Mentioned in dispatches and awarded the Military Cross.
Notable Action: Rescued a soldier under fire during an attack on Turkish forces in Palestine on March 4, 1918
We will ship these via pallet courier due to the weight and size. Measurements are -
LARGE TRUNK : 100cm long x 56cm wide and 56cm deep.
SMALL TRUNK : 80cm long x 46cm wide and 30cm deep.
