Sam Brown Belt: A Heroic Innovation
click the photo to enlarge
'Sam Brown' officers belt Australian made, together with a silver plated hip flask. Sam Brown was a British cavalry office and Indian Mutiny hero. When his left arm was severed in battle he could not draw his sword, as on a charging horse you needed one hand to hold the scabbard and the other to pull out the blade. Undaunted, he commissioned a new style belt, with a strap doing over the shoulder which anchored the scabbard, allowing him to pull it out one-handed, and rode off into battle again and into military history
