This kit was typical of an officer at the start of World War One in 1914. "The Historial de la Grande Guerre museum (Museum of the Great War) was opened on 1st August 1992. It is an international museum of comparative history, attracting over 80, 000 visitors a year. All presentations are made in three languages — French, English and German — to show the experiences of the major participants in the First World War and the impact of this conflict on the 20th century. The museum's displays and films aim to show the visitor not only what life was like for the soldier in the front line trenches, but also how he lived behind the trench lines. The effect of the Great War on the civilian populations who were occupied by an enemy force or were forced to flee their homes is an important part of the museum's exhibitions." http://www.greatwar.co.uk
