Provenance |
Note inside reads: This medical kit was found in a German dugout somewhere on the Vimy Ridge last April, April 11th/17, or May by (Dr.) Capt. H.C. Allison, M.D. to the 19th Canadian Battalion B.E.F. France. This is just as Bert brought it over in Sep. 1917. I only put in the packing around the bottles. One was broken when it came. Yours sincerely, J. Allison. H.C. Allison was a medical student at UWO before entering World War One. Miss Childs obtained the case from J. Allison, and gave it to her brother Dr. J.R.N. Childs, Associate Professor of Medicine at UWO, who then donated it to the collection. |
