Once an Officer gained his commission, he would then go and purchase all the items he needed for his future career, to be transported to all corners of the British Empire. It was made in 2 pieces so that it could be put in its own individual travelling cases to send on its trips around the world. Made of teak, a wood that is perfect for its use, as it is resistant to seawater, add to this it being a hardwood, it was resistant to the knocks it was likely to receive as it was packed on sailing ships, steamers, wagons, or even Elephants as it was taken to the Officers postings around the globe. The top section is fitted a pair of half width drawers with the classic deep drawer under these, that were for uniforms and the headgear. The bottom half is fitted with 2 full width drawers.
