Description
British Army, WWI, 'gas alarm rattle', a wooden and metal ratchet for making noise when a gas attack was made so that nearby soldiers would know to put on protective equipment, with 'J.T.E. 1918' on the side of the octagonal timber handle and on the base, 'Broad Arrow/31/G'. Some loss of timber on two of the eight wooden cogs of the ratchet, all metal with heavy oxidation, otherwise very good and working.
