Aldershot Cavalry Brigade ca 1905 Penny Canteen Token
Offered is a 27mm CuNi 1d canteen token for the Cavalry Brigade (1st Cavalry) at Aldershot. The Aldershot Encampment, founded in the 1850s, came to be one of the most important military bases in the British Isles - indeed, on the eve of the Great War, it was the largest. This type is generally agreed to have been issued sometime between the reorganization of 1903 (leading to the creation of the 1st Cavalry), and WWI. A fascinating piece of militaria, as well as a scarce numismatic item.
