Collections - First World War Regimental Cane Regimental Cane Acquired by donor, Mrs E M Poyner Wall, in Darjeeling in 1914. The donor wrote the following in a letter with the cane: “I was in Darjeeling when the King’s Own were leaving (1914) I wanted
them to have a wave from me and the best of trips. They threw their
canes to the standing public and this one that I have fell at my feet.
We heard later that so many lost their lives so I treasured it!”
