Equipment - Gas Mask, c1916
The Small Box Respirator (SBC) was a British gas mask of the First World War and a successor to the Large Box Respirator. In late 1916, the respirator was introduced by the British with the aim to provide reliable protection against chlorine and phosgene gases. The respirator offered a first line of defence against these. The use of mustard gas, was begun by the Germans; a vesicant ("blister agent") that burnt the skin of individuals that were exposed to it. Death rates were high with exposure to both the mixed phosgene, chlorine and mustard gas, however with soldiers having readily available access to the small box respirator, death rates lowered significantly. Light and reasonably fitting, the respirator was a key piece of equipment to protect soldiers on the battlefield.The Small Box Respirator ('SBR') proved to be the most effective gas mask produced during the First World War, and had a number of advantages over its French and German contemporaries.Canvas bag containing Small Box Respirator consisting of a rubberised fabric face mask, connected by a fabric covered rubber hose to a canister made of tin plate containing a chemical absorbent.gas mask, ww1 -

Functional object - Red Cross Boxes
These vintage first aid boxes reflect early 20th-century medical practices. The inclusion of certain brands and types of medicine may help identify their period of manufacture. Such kits were common in factories, workshops, and homes, providing basic emergency care before modern ambulance services were widespread.This image shows two vintage first aid boxes, both made of metal with hinged doors. The interiors are compartmentalized to hold various medical supplies. Both boxes feature a red cross symbol on the lid, indicating their purpose as medical emergency kits. The top box is in a dark green colour with red interior dividers. It has two hinged doors, one of which displays a printed instruction sheet with first aid guidance. The bottom box is slightly more worn, with a faded red cross on the lid and a similar compartmentalized storage system inside. 2. Contents: Both boxes contain a range of vintage medical supplies, which include: Bandages and gauze rolls (some wrapped in brown paper, others loose). Small tins and bottles labelled with first aid essentials such as antiseptic, wound powder, and iodine. Glass jars and tubes, likely containing ointments or disinfectants. Packets labelled "bandages" and "cotton wool", used for wound care. A tin labelled "Lifebuoy", likely an antiseptic soap. Yellow-labelled dusting powder tins, possibly containing antiseptic or wound treatment powders.medical, first aid, kit, household item, medicine, doctor, nurse, hospital, health, injury, medical items
