Remembered Today:

Value of a soldiers kit 1901

Recommended Posts

Whilst researching a soldier of the same name I came across the attached document which I thought would be of interest to the forum.

If my £.s.d. maths is correct the total value was £2.19s.11.1/2d which I believe would be around £250.00 today

Although the form says value what they are talking about is cost. A soldier disposing of his kit would get far less for it.

Unless he still had it all today and stuck it on eBay!

i recall helping a soldier make a claim for his lost equipment (in transit by the RAF) in the 1980's it came to about £1000, based on P1954 & P1956 vouchers raised by the QM.
