Admin DavidOwen Posted 16 August , 2018 Admin Share Posted 16 August , 2018 Panniers? i.e. Containers. That would be my interpretation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJS Posted 16 August , 2018 Author Share Posted 16 August , 2018 Yes, that's got to be it. Medical Supplies requested for a road party so would need to be a container of portable medicines, etc. Thank you David! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pierssc Posted 20 August , 2018 Share Posted 20 August , 2018 (edited) I read compounder too. "A person who mixes or combines ingredients in order to produce an animal feed, medicine, or other substance. ‘compounders make up medicines for doctors or pharmacies’" https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/compounder Edited 20 August , 2018 by pierssc typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJS Posted 20 August , 2018 Author Share Posted 20 August , 2018 Compounder. Of course. Thank You! I would never have got there ... Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
