Cooker box update.
Just a bit of an update with regards to the cooker box heat sheild. We asked our local supplier of stainless and aluminium to quote us for bending a piece in two places to mount inside our boxes and I think it is going to be a big no.... at the minute as the quote came back as £200 per box🤯🤯🤯🤯😵‍💫. I think it is time to explore other avenues . Needless to say it is not on the cards anytime soon. We will keep you posted.

SRD jars
Just doing a bit of research into the uses of the flagons. Over the years there seems to have been a bit of uncertainty about what SRD actually meant. An old man we used to visit told me it stood for seldom reaches destination. Some say it is service ration depot, some say it is service reserve department?. I am not sure but, we have stumbled across this website that has an extract from a 1915 manual, it seems pretty clear what do you think?.

Recently made.
Ww1 SRD crate to hold and transport to rum flagons to the front line trenches.
Designed to hold two flagons, packed out with hay or straw to add additional cushioning to protect the courage giving contents.
So many of these crates must have been used, smashed up, and burnt as we have never seen an original Ww1 era crate, this is copied from a ww2 dated crate and stencilled in accordance.

Ww2 American wooden cooker box.
Another take on our very popular cooker boxes.
This on made to similar dimensions as the original K ration boxes but slightly taller and shorter, to be able to house the gas bottles and so that the cooker is held in place and not rattling about.
Made in thicker timber to the k ration boxes, it is designed to be study enough to hold the weight but also to be robust enough to handle the heat from your stove.
A must for the discerning American reenactors.
£50 plus postage.

Mills gr***de arming tool.
We are obviously not metal workers but a few people have asked if we can get these tools. We had a length of rod in the stores, so we had a go yesterday. Without our original that we sold when we got out of reenactment, I don't think they came out too bad with only our memory to go by.
I think the largest bend could to with been a bit more narrow, but as a bit of set dressing to fix on the lid we think they look the part. We just need to remove the galvanised finish.
We only have 25 available £5 each.
