Hallmarked (1915) silver nurses hip flask engraved “L. D. Meares 6th L. H. RGT. A.I.F.”
Sister Louisa Devenish Meares saw most of her service in Salonika with a brother (Charles Dycester Devenish Meares) serving with the 6th Light Horse. Possibly a gift from her brother or she could have been looking after the wounded from the 6th L.H (staying close to her brothers unit). Rare to find an Australian WW1 nurses attributed item. Further research could only enhance this interesting piece.

CHARGE OF THE HEAVY BRIGADE
Three: Crimea 1854-56, 3 clasps, "Balaklava, Inkermann, and Sebastopol" officially impressed to E. Quinn. 6th Dragoons, Army L.S. & G.C., V.R., small letter reverse to 955. Edwd. Quinn. 11th Hussars; Turkish Crimea 1855, Sardinian issue in contemporary running script to 957 E. Quinn, 6th Dragoons.
Edward Quinn was born in County Donegal and attested for the 6th Dragoons at Enniskillen on 3 October 1846, aged 20 years. He is shown in the muster rolls as being on active duty with his regiment for the whole of the quarter dating 1st October to the 31st December 1854, and it is most probable, therefore, that he took part in the famous charge of the Heavy Brigade at Balaklava. Medal roll states "Invalided home 15 Sept 1855". He transferred to the 11th Hussars on 1 November 1866 and was discharged from the service on 1 November 1870. Sold with copied discharge papers.
