This bag was used to convey orders and correspondence from Great Britain to Lord Raglan in the Crimea. Although the markings are worn the interpreted date of despatch in the corner suggests this may have been one of the last bags received by Lord Raglan before his death on 28 June 1855 and was possibly used to send home some of his personal effects.
