What did a WW1 soldier carry in his pockets?

In this video, Kevin Hicks is going to take a look at what a WW1 soldier might have carried in his pockets. From a saucy photo to his pay book, we look at the mundane and the personal items that a WW1 soldier might have had on his person.

This video is a fun look at the typical things that a WW1 soldier might have carried with him, both on and off the battlefield. If you're interested in military history or WW1 memorabilia, this video is a great way to learn more about what a WW1 soldier might have had in his pockets!

It’s not an exhaustive list, these are just from Kevin’s collection. There would have been other personal items, letters and such, but this gives a wonderful insight into the private and unofficial things a WW1 soldier may have carried with him into battle.
