Jerrykins Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Well I think it's a camel pannier, the hump fits between c & c. The strap goes under its tum and is tensioned with the bit of rope. Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fv1609 Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 Camel or Elephant ? Yes well done Richard I knew I could rely on you. It is indeed Elephant Gear (Sanderson pattern) supplied by the Commissariat Department in India. Described in 1878 by Major DB Burns, 18th Hussars, Intelligence Branch, War Office Picture to follow.

ruxy Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 A firm at Blaydon-on-Tyne had a contract with the British Army for over 100 years for the supply of animal panniers , certainly at abt. 1994 they were still making batches of Mule panniers for Hong Kong - the batch I was shown may have been the very last ?
