Compare the mace in the 1244 mounted knight’s kit with the mace in the 1916 private soldier’s kit.
Darn near identical.
Somebody would have had a very bad day if they'd called the person wearing that coat 'Private'.
Our Sergeant Major has a crown upon his arm.
And he thinks he's got it on his bloody head.
One piece of equipment I see missing from the 1916 kit (though admittedly it probably wasn’t “issue”, more like improvised) is a trenching tool or spade with its edges and point sharpened. Besides the obvious earth-moving purpose, it also came in very handy as a close-quarter trench weapon...either for raiding (use it like a spear) or repelling a raid (use it like an axe).
