St. Johns Ambulance 1917

Hi.
I wonder how many will find the uploads from the St.Johns Handbook of 1917 as fascinating as I found them, because of the prices !
Cheers

Low priced indeed.

My mother used to tell me that when she was a child circa 1925, that a loaf of bread was a 11/2d. or one and a half pence.

 

Silk Worm Gut sounds like a great first aid application(yuk).
But then again what is Silk worm gut?

 

Old money

Hi Geoff,
I can remember my first packet of cigarettes being from a slot machine.
5 Woodbines with 5 matches attached for 2 old penniesand turn the handle..

That really makes me feel old !!!!!

Hi Annie,

I am so pleased that you think anything of mine is worth pinching,
Do it again, anytime.

And if you were promoted you new uniform was even more!
