4. Contents A higgledy piggledy mass of cloth thrown together anyhow, certainly nothing to do with the original contents of the box. Mostly in the nature of bandages, either rolled bandages of various widths, or folded into flat pads. A few still in good condition, but most of them were scattered and partly unrolled. Some were in bundles loosely tied together (cont)
