Unique breastplate made from captured regimental pouches
A Boer crafted a leather neck and underarm breastplate covered with small pouches taken from British officers. Pouches bore initials and emblems of regiments such as Dublin Fusiliers, Duke of York’s Own, Cambridgeshires, Gloucestershires, City of London Volunteers, Strathcona's Horse, and others.
