Notes | Sam Browne belt with snake buckle, Anglo Boer War. Used by 4037 Sgt Neil G McLeod, 7th New Zealand Mounted Rifles. After leaving secondary school Neil Gloster McLeod worked as an electrician-electrical engineer with the Auckland Tramway Company. He was only eighteen when he enlisted as a sergeant with No 21 Company, 7th Contingent New Zealand Mounted Rifles (listing his occupation as perambulator maker) and embarked aboard the Gulf of Taranto which left for South Africa from Wellington on 6 April 1901. Neil McLeod was subsequently promoted as Lieutenant serving with the 9th Contingent and also served as a Staff Sergeant with the Cape Police before returning to New Zealand where he resumed his electrical and engineering career. Sam Browne belts are combination pistol or sword belt with a shoulder strap and D-rings and were intended to take some of the weight of the sword. They were named after General Sir Sam Browne (1849-1898) of the British Army in India. The were first used in India, where Browne was stationed, circa 1860. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
