There are lists somewhere , of what drugs were part of the RAMC bags. Might be worthwhile cross-checking those. Looks as though it ends in -ITE' ?

TheCorrectedEnglishModel Posted 29 January , 2019 Share Posted 29 January , 2019 It could be a vial, as it hat possible glass seals at each end and glass started to haze... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCorrectedEnglishModel Posted 30 January , 2019 Share Posted 30 January , 2019 Oh then it’s probably a medical vial from around that era maybe. Probably wartime era if matched correctly to another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunner Bailey Posted 30 January , 2019 Share Posted 30 January , 2019 (edited) I think they most commonly held iodine. I found one in the garden of my French house about 12 years ago. My village was a base for the Ox and Bucks when out of the line. Edited 30 January , 2019 by Gunner Bailey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dai Bach y Sowldiwr Posted 30 January , 2019 Share Posted 30 January , 2019 Iodine crystals in alcohol would be a brown liquid. Iodine crystals would be a purple colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ServiceRumDiluted Posted 30 January , 2019 Share Posted 30 January , 2019 (edited) A much smaller Iodine ampule, with 1914 dated tube. They probably came in a variety of shapes and sizes. A pair of 1917 bandages, one British one German also. AA battery is for scale.... I don't think it is period. Looking at the OP picture I think the last part of the lettering does say Iodine though a bit of mud makes the O look like a Q.
