According to the seller's information this item comes from the Vresse sur Semois Bouillon maquis area, where weapons and equipment were dropped. In Belgium, although SOE operated mainly in the more densely populated areas, rural areas such as VressesurSemois were also used by SOE agents and local resistance networks. In the dense forests surrounding Vressesur-Semois, maquisards set up clandestine camps to carry out sabotage, gather intelligence and help downed allied airmen evade capture. These activities were often coordinated with the help of SOE, which provided resources, training and radio links. A notable resistance site in the area was Camp des Blaireaux, near Vressesur-Semois. This camp served as a base for the local maquisards, who organised operations there against the occupying forces. The camp included rudimentary facilities such as barracks for sleeping, a kitchen and caches for equipment. Its isolated location made it difficult for the Germans to detect, providing a safe haven for resistance fighters and SOE agents.

The zippers are also in working condition and are marked Made in England along with the AM (Air Ministry) crown symbol. The leather pull tabs are complete. The pocket designed to hold the seat cushion is present, though the cushion itself is missing. The item shows some wear and a period patina, along with a few stains. Condition rated as II+. According to the seller, this piece comes from the VressesurSemois - Bouillon region, a known site for arms and equipment drops. In Belgium, while the SOE primarily operated in more densely populated areas, rural regions like VressesurSemois also served as active zones for its agents and local resistance networks. In the dense forests around VressesurSemois, maquis fighters established clandestine camps to carry out sabotage missions, gather intelligence, and assist downed Allied airmen in evading capture. These activities were often coordinated with the help of the SOE, which provided supplies, training, and radio communication links.
