Ammunition pouch

This is a German ammunition pouch from the First World War. It is made from leather and would have been attached to a soldier’s belt. When the Armistice was signed in 1918 to end the First World War the German army was required to forfeit much of their military equipment. Huge numbers of items were collected by the War Trophies Commission in London and distributed to museums and institutions across England.
