This First World War field medical kit belonged to Corporal Reginald Robinson, 3rd Field Ambulance, AIF. The 3rd Field Ambulance landed on Gallipoli on 25 April 1915. Corporal Robinson carried this kit, but did not take part in the landing, arriving on Gallipoli in August. The kit, intended for providing immediate treatment on the battlefield, contains a vial of morphine, which would have been used to give pain relief to wounded soldiers.
