On
28 August 2013, Kenneth found a bottle while weeding a flower bed just ten
paces from his front door.
The neck of the small bottle has a rubber syringe bung indicating that it
was intended for serum, perhaps morphine, to be dispensed on the
battlefield. It may have been discarded by a medic after treating
a wounded man. |
The
bottom has a '"B" in a circle identifying it as the Brockway Bottle Co.,
Pennsylvania. The firm started in 1907 and its early bottles have the
symbol in the centre as this one does (see
Brockway Glass Company for more information) |
