The memories playing this on Wii 😢

Such good clear videos

I will have to smoke a cigarette after watching this…. A great video of a fine collection.

Words cannot explain how much I love this

Outstanding content and presentation, and great music. Thanks for taking the time to put this together - hope you’ll continue to add more esoteric content from your fabulous collection - maybe another untold story, mess tin covers ? Thanks again, great stuff indeed.

I love this. I've played it a billion times. It centers me.

Ahhh, Staff of Kings

This is so nostalgic to me. I remember playing this when I was like a little younger than 12. Loved this game at the time.

31:11 - 33:10 let's misbehave Cole porter 1928

Classic music

Staff of kings is good

Excellent presentation.

I had one that was galvanized. I suspected that it was just an iron bottle that someone had removed the enamel from, but when I removed the felt to examine it, there was an ink stamped broad arrow on the bottom of the bottle. Haven’t seen another like it, and haven’t found any information on it.

Great video and very informative. One issue though, the statement that the bandolier allowed the British soldier to carry almost double the ammunition compared with the German soldier is wrong. British webbing carried 30x 5rd chargers, the bandolier 10 chargers, total is 40. The German equipment carried 24x 5rd chargers, their bandolier carried 14, for a total if 38. Certainly not "almost double". If each man were to wear 2x bandoliers, the British man's total would increase to 50 chargers, the German to 52.

Thanks so much for this video. Now I know EVERYTHING about .303 bandoliers...

U, union of south africa.

I wonder how Pattern 37 would being cumbersome for those soldiers who using it since they had to carry 2-4 magazine for the Bren Gun in their section and they had to wrap a clip bandolier along with their body. Plus, they can only have 50 round ready for their rifle.

What caused the radical change of universal pouches on the 1937 pattern was the Bren. Each universal pouch could carry two Bren gun magazines. The section was therefore an ammo carrying unit for the Bren gun.

Some narration would be enjoyable

Some narration discussing each item and setup in detail would be most enjoyable

That knocking gets me every time.

This is so cool... Staff of Kings???

Well finally!

still trying to find that violin one

So I've got a Canadian Manufacture Water bottle (extremely faded, but still present, oval stamp and broad arrow mark) as well as an 1940 production Z.T. & L. ltd skeleton carrier. (and 2 other seemingly GP straps that help form a sling) For 72 dollars (Canadian) i might have spent a little over what its probably worth, but the condition of the bottle, felt, and carrier is so good that i dont think i mind. (Plus that price is after a 10% discount i got) Thank you so much. This video was incredibly helpful.

The RN Gaiters were used till the last gun race as far as I know, where they are white

Awesome music

I was still using that large pack as a reservist in Canada in the mid 80s.

Nice work.

Excellent

Excellent thank you.

Nice one! I made a very similar ambience set in Indy's office and this is very close to the vibe that I tried to achieve, if you want to check it out, you can find it on my channel, I'll be waiting from more ambiences from you :)

The biggest mistake or omission is the wrap around handles. I used the south African version 40 years ago

Theres an abandoned webbing factory in my area and im intruiged so now im herw

Hello war office. Ihave a water bottle but i cant identify it by cover or structure it looks like the indian but also its very diffent.

I'm more confused with the patterns before the Boer War and am trying to like find sources on that!

Great reference material for reenactors like me!

Severely underrated chann

Me wanting this so I can make a corn beef stew and share it with my mate

Very informative research on a relatively less talked about area, thank you!

Hello, just dipping my toes in here. Thanks for the detailed views. Do you have a ID for this item described below? I have a khaki webb pack stamped M.E.CO.1915. It has a brass clip at top front-centre (like a leash clip), a wooden toggle/string at bottom front-centre. The adjustable shoulder straps are sewn-on at top with their 2 5/16" buckles attached, and have a quick release clip by small D ring on lower RH strap to pack body. LH shoulder strap permanently attached to lower body with a larger D ring. Shoulder straps have brass 'fold-over' clip (for ammo pouches?), and stamped RD NO. 639521.A pair of webb straps hang underneath pack body (for groundsheet?), and a similar pair on the top face of pack lid. The fold over cover flap with clipped corners has a horizontal webb strap across its mid point. Pack is undivided internally and 3 1/4" in width. A stamp in purple ink on rear side of pack appears to be a large C followed with a similarly sized crooked stroke with short right angled leg at top.

Black leather anklets with 3 fastening straps, I wonder made when?

Thank you. I wish you added some sources for information.

Thank you for your work sir, wish you also prepared it in blog post form.

thankyou for this, very hard to find this level of detail

A very informative and detailed video! These videos are an extremely useful reference to anybody collecting Commonwealth militaria! Thanks for sharing the information!

Excellent piece of work ... thank you.

Thanks you for this new video ! Another true delight !

Brilliantly put together !

Once again, you provide us a very instructive and high quality video !
