Cunard military luggage tag

luggage tag

Cunard Line military luggage tag, likely from a ship transporting military personnel in WWI. There is no passenger or ship name. The tag says "deliver in stateroom a/34." There is a printed "2728-5M U&Co." at the top which matches other known WW luggage tags. Several Cunard ships were requisitioned for British military use during WWI, and ships like the MAURETANIA and AQUITANIA famously served as troopships delivering soldiers from the U.S., Canada and other countries to Europe and then taking them home afterwards.
