Part of a machine gun belt, with one bullet, that was used at the First Battle of the Somme in 1916 by Ted [John Edward] Cozens. Ted fought at Gallipoli in 1915 and on the Western Front between 1916 and 1917. He suffered from exposure at Gallipoli which led to ongoing medical issues. Ted was discharged to convalesce at home in New Zealand in March 1918. |
