WW1 Army Service Corps Soldiers Kit Bag.
A scarce attributed example, grey canvass material with brass eyelets. To the front stenciled name "Jarvis W.C. ASC" with the later addition "Sgt". GC, used condition.
It appears that only one man of this name serving with the ASC was awarded Great War Medals. This being William C Jarvis who landed in France on the 1st July 1917. He later served with the Labour Corps. The MIC shows him as a Private, but possible promoted on return to UK or rank was acting.
