I have this wooden ammunition box which had been mislaid for some time until I found it yesterday behind something else. It was sourced by my grandfather during WW2 for use as a first aid box and, as I understand it, it was old in WW2. My grandparents house was a Warden's Post but my grandfather was just an ordinary air raid warden. Presumably the first aid box was part of the equipment for the Warden's Post.
The box has survived in very good condition with no rot and no wood worm and perhaps the reason for it's good conditions is because it was used as a first aid box. The box continued to be used as a first aid box for many years, until the early 1980's. Over the years it has been repainted a number of times.
The dimensions are 16 1/2" long x 8 1/2" wide x 10 1/2" tall, all approx. sizes.
The question is what sort of ammunition box is it exactly and how old is it, please? I'm assuming that it is British.
Many thanks for any replies and information.Information
