EQUIPMENT. Rare large regulation water can in tin-plated iron, stapled and soldered. Second Empire period. The bottom is missing due to oxidation and the shoes are missing. ABE This example, distributed at the rate of one for every 8 men, is reputed to have been found in July 1969 in a rubbish dump near the church of Loigny-la-Bataille and is clearly a relic of the fierce fighting of 2 December 1870. It was the subject of a publication in 2009.
