Neville reported "Rendall Underwood made, Pattern 1889 (MkII LOC 8782), Mounted Infantry, 50 .303 round Bandolier. Named to W.A Ingram, number E 517."

Rendall Underwood = Made in Birmingham.

About the time they made the bandolier they were receiving lots of mentions in Cycling Magazine as makers of leather saddles and leather carriers to attach to bicycle frames.

Graces Guide notes they were exhibitors at the 1922 British Industries Fair where they exhibited ladies handbags, toilet cases, travelling requisites, jewel cases, letter cases and purses manufactured at their Albion Works, Granville Street, Birmingham and made out of “Morocco, catskin, velvet, hide and solid leather”.

Use with the cadets could well be the reason for the small number of pouches and reduction in overall length. Thank you.

The reason for the error message for no 21 is that the link is incorrect. It reads :
www.angloboerwar.com/images/pdf/OVSAC_20...rWarBandoliersII.pdf .

It should actually read : www.angloboerwar.com/images/pdf/OVSAC_21...rWarBandoliersII.pdf .

If you click on the link, wait for the error message, then change 20 to 21 in the address bar at the top of the screen, and click on it, the file should load and open.

Or click on Arthur’s second link:
