Anybody identify these old binoculars

Trying to determine where these binoculars came from. They are very old - look military, not particularly powerful - perhaps 2-3x. They are stamped "H.HUGHES & SON. ENGLAND" on one eyepiece, and "59 FENCHURCH ST LONDON" on the other. I suspect they may be artillery spotter glasses, or something like that, from World War 1.

Any historians have an inkling?
