Originally kept in a grey buff folder with the old heading written in pencil on the front: Encampment at Dieghem July 1745. An ink inscription ‘(474)’ refers to the number stamped in black on the item.
Condition: four fold lines; brown discolouration from the deterioration of the past along the joins; small tears and holes.
