Grenadier's Match Case

Grenadiers were soldiers who would throw grenades—hence the name grenadier. The 18th century grenade was a hollow iron ball filled with gun powder and sealed with a wooden plug fitted to accept a fuse called a slow match. The slow match was placed into a small brass case with ventilation holes attached to the grenadier's shoulder belt. The grenade was discontinued but the match case continued to be worn long after by grenadiers.
