Waterbottle, 1916 (c)

Steel bottle with brown enamel covering, with fabric cover and webbing straps.

The waterbottle was used by Major Thomas Burton Newenham Deane (1887-1951), 1st Battalion, Prince of Wales's Leinster Regiment (Royal Canadians).

This waterbottle is pierced by a bullet which remains inside and has left a lump at the back as it tried to exit. It may well have saved Deane from serious injury or even death. On 14 February 1915, Deane was taken prisoner at St Eloi in France.
