Brilliant. That's what my Great Grandad and Great Uncle would have worn as it's their regiment- though my Uncle was a Corporal. My uncle died at Messines Ridge in 1917 and My great grandad took his place as Corporal afterwards. They were both called Corporal Coucill so it might have been a bit confusing!

Awesome video. Where did you get your P08 Cartridge carriers from? I assume they are reproductions, but I see they are correctly woven and the later style.

Many thanks! They are reproductions, they're from Soldier of Fortune.

I have a stupid question. My friend gave me some pieces of a WW2 kit that included puttees (that I wouldn't be using with that kit anyway as the unit I've chosen to portray wore gaiters). Did the puttees change at all between the wars or can I use my friend's WW2 puttees on a WW1 kit?
@20thcenturysurplus9 ай бұрын
I know this is a bit late but the Puttees were different in ww1 then to ww2. Hope this helps

Very informative video and great kit. I'm wondering why they stopped carrying a backup PH respirator, surely that would be useful against mustard gas since wearing the SBR for long periods was a pain.
@RiflemanMoore6 жыл бұрын
Many thanks Matthew. I think the rationale for ditching the PH was to save weight/bulk. By my understanding the PH didn't offer much protection against mustard.

Rifleman Moore Rifleman Moore No problem thanks for the reply. Also I can understand that there was a lot to carry. Another thing might they have carried wool blankets? I know that's yet more weight but I'd imagine it got quite cold at night.
@RiflemanMoore5 жыл бұрын
Sorry for the really late reply to this! I've seen men in transit carrying wool blankets atop their usual field service marching order, that is going up the line or moving from one position to another but I don't it wouldn't be part of usual field kit, the sort of thing left with transport or other kit before going into action. It's important to remember that regular field service marching order included the greatcoat and groundsheet.

Rifleman Moore impressive. Other then belts it's getting almost impossible to find original p08 gear.

The braces do turn up too but I agree, it's getting harder to find.

Where do you get the "army biscuits from please? Thanks
@RiflemanMoore5 жыл бұрын
They are a modern trail biscuit made by 'trek and eat'. If you look back through my channel you will see a separate video on the iron ration which details it. I think there is a card in the video linking to it.

If you click the little 'i' top right you'll get a drop-down list of videos, the second one down looks at the ration in more detail.

Thanks for the fast reply, thank you for letting me know WPG have them . I do have a pair but they are quite worn out as they are from the 40s also sorry to ask but do you know if British army camp beds where private punched or issued, I know officers got issued them ?

Corned beef and biscuits. "4 square meals a day." Thats the reason I joined the army lol😂.
@RiflemanMoore6 жыл бұрын
Quite so! There were efforts to provide men fresh food and bread where possible but as the realities of trench warfare made themselves apparent corned beef, biscuit and M&V rations became more and more the norm.

Rifleman Moore Reminds me of "It ain't half hot mum" the corn beef. "Monday you had corn beff sandwiches. Tuesday you had corn beef fash. Wensday you had cold corn beef." Lol😂😂
