Queen Mary's Hospital in Roehampton, Surrey, is part of the NHS Trust who donated this prosthesis. The hospital was established as a specialist centre for fitting prosthetic limbs during the First World War. It is still an important centre for limb manufacture and fitting. It was made by artificial limb manufacturing company Steeper during the early 1960s.
