Default Here is another one to ID please

I was given two of these boxes but haven't found any markings yet.

They are wooden with a canvas top and felt seals to the edges which must keep dust out, and felt liners to the shaped formers for whatever they carried.

There is a hasp and staple with the same style of twist lock as on Kevin's one.

I am guessing artillery, and most likely British.

Any ideas please?

Rob

This style could well go back to WW1

Default I forgot to add...

The leather strap over the lid is fixed to the sides of the box, and it is not a convenient carry strap. Maybe it fastened something else on the lid?

I don't see any sign of clips or brackets for mounting it either.
