Backpack: This unit displays expert workmanship. It had been used at one time and is still in good shape. There was a name scribed in ink which has now completely ceased to exist. The only markings consist of three lower case letters- eee- with the number 43 right below. They are clearly stamped into the wide black leather near the horse hide.This pack also was found in Freteval Forest.
It must have been Rilettes we had. A farm lady came out with a stone or earthen tub some 4 inches wide. Under a thick layer of fat were chunks of preserved pork. They were indeed tasty. Also tasty was our next surprise. A cloth bag containing a ball of cheese was offered to us. The contents had a rather leathery skin. Between this skin and the main ball of cheese was a thin creamy layer. In this layer dwelt a number of tiny wiggly creatures which was rather disconcerting. However we did manage to eat a few with no unpleasant results.You folks help to bring back memories,its interesting. Well time for bed Cheerio Alex Campbell
