• Lot Description:
  Sam Brown officers belt
  Australian made, together with a silver plated hip flask.
• Notes:
  Sam Brown was a British cavalry office and Indian Mutiny hero. When his left arm was severed in battle he could not draw his sword, as on a charging horse you needed one hand to hold the scabbard and the other to pull out the blade. Undaunted, he commissioned a new style belt, with a strap doing over the shoulder which anchored the scabbard, allowing him to pull it out one-handed, and rode off into battle again and into military history
