Friends,
This is my first post in this part of the forum, so please be patient with me.
I have a couple of questions on the the British WW2 ammo pouch.
The first question is for a "typical rifleman\private etc" armed with a SMLE or No4, how many rounds of ammo would he have be issued with?
The second question is that I own a similar pouch dated in the 1950's, I notice that there is no internal structure or dividers inside the pouch, Was that the same for the WW2 patterns? If so, were the clips of rifle ammo just "drop in" or was there a way to correctly fill the pouch?
Thanks in advance
Cheers
Ian
