Wooden right above knee prosthesis made for a 16 year old Boy Soldier in 1894. It was worn continuously by him until he was (very reluctantly) supplied with a new one in 1972. This he wore until his death in 1977 at the age of 99. Supplied by the Army.

As a military amputee he would have been entitled to a free prosthesis. It was worn continuously by him until he was very reluctantly supplied with a new one in 1972.
