60895: Wrist watches

One of these watches is probably the one that Dr Blore wore when he bathed in the water in Egypt, when it stopped working. The event is recorded in his letters as well as requests for another wrist watch to be sent to him.

Part of a collection relating to the service of Dr W.R. Blore M.C. RAMC, including his letters home, his notebooks from his service as a doctor at Suvla Bay, Gallipoli, and on the Western Front - as well as his sleeping bag and many other artefacts including a photo of Blore outside his dugout at Suvla Bay.
