British Webbing Pt4: 1944 pattern Webbing

In this part 4 of our multi part series of Web equipment of the British Army. In this episode we look at 1944 pattern equipment which was developed during the Second World War and used in Korea, Malya, Borneo and beyond.

There were the first type ammo pouches with lower C hooks for the belt and small loops higher up for a chest strap to pass through, then later pattern ammo pouches that had 2 levels of C hooks plus loops to go over the belts for high or low fitting.. Then the MT driver pouches that are just a loop high up. These [x3] I found very handy at the rear of my set of webbing for supplies as the bergen rucksack sat perfect on top, I [naturally] had a 44 water bottle on this rig too along with a roll pin buckle/webbing fitted to the 58 pattern belt.
