WW1 Saddle Bags

Thought to be Australian Light Horse saddle bags used by in WW1 by Roy Hore, half brother of WP Spry (Digger)

Two leather pouch shaped bags each with a flap. The bags are joined together by a wide leather strap, which has one small lop. Each pouch has a button hole on the flap which closes onto a metal stud protruding from the front of the pouch, it is stitched with white thread. On the back of each pouch is a short strip of leather attached with four metal rivets.

We believe it was used by Roy Hore, a half brother WP Spry (Digger). Roy belonged to the Australian LIght Horse. Family members still reside in the district.
