WW2 British Officer's Sam Browne Map Case & Accessories (Attributed, Untouched)

Recently discovered in an old trunk amongst other items belonging to (then) Lieut. Clifford Herbert Williams British Indian army 1942 - 45.
Lt. Williams served on the North West Frontier of India throughout the war years and would later become a post-war career soldier/officer obtaining the rank of major.
The canvas body of the private-purchase case has slightly stiffened over time but remains in good order, all stitching intact, the leather hanging yoke along with the small securing side straps are again slightly stiff but all in good working order, the three internal celluloid panels/screens are also slightly hardened but remain intact.
Found amongst the pencils, card ruler (some de-facing) and protractor was an 'Order Card' instructing the officer on the correct sequence of headings for written & verbal orders, also discovered was a hand-typed note listing the correct 'Operation Order' for an Infantry battalion attack, battalion night attack and battalion river crossing.
Some loss of finish/plating on metal parts and light surface rust present but all could be improved, left as found, canvas a little grubby from service use, requires a little airing as been stored for decades.
Please study images + the additional images as they are part of the condition report.
A true time capsule item.
