NEW SADDLE
FOR MARSHAL TIMOSHENKO. GIFT FROM BRITISH SCHOOL CHILDREN. A cavalry saddle for Marshal Timoshenko is being made by London saddlers who supply the harness for King George’s State carriage. A birthday present for the Marshal from British school children, it is among the gifts going to Russia as the result of the Five Arts campaign for providing comforts and medical supplies for the Red Army. saddle will be representative of the best British craftsmanship in saddlery: the makers have supplied saddles for the British cavalry, the Metropolitan Police, the Crown Agents for the colonies and the State harness of India. One of their bridles is now being used by Princess Elizabeth. In «war time these craftsmen have little saddlery-work to do. Instead, they are working almost exclusively on harness for Britain’s agricultural and transport industries, both vital sections of the home front.
