Excellent mate, my great uncle served with 3 RAR in Korea, his brother served with 3 RAR in Malaya and I served with 3 RAR in Malaysia. I have 15 mannequins (so far) covering the Royal Australian Regiment from 1948 to 2018, Korea to Afghanistan.

I was planning to join 3 RAR but I’ve chosen not to after they stopped being paratroopers instead I’m joining Cav still unsure whether or not to go reserves or regular army but I still have a liking for 3 RAR and most of my uniform setup‘s are to represent that battalion

The diggers that went to Korea early on were part of what was called Kanga force which was made up of WW2 veterans the government called for volunteers to bolster the battalions ,most of them were still in their twenty's and had combat experience in the last battles of the south pacific Balapapan and Tarakan in Borneo fighting the Japanese , they did some sort of refresher course for a few weeks than off to join the Commonwealth brigade and if they were seeking action they got it in spades ! I think equipment wise their was still alot of p37 Webbing around as well as p44 i have seen pictures of diggers wearing US flak jackets and woollen beanies ( like the British cap comforter ) also some sort of canvas and wooden cap with folding ears with the rising sun badge on the front Also the heavy woollen pullover which in a slightly different form is still issued today .I thought an American style rubber smock was used at the later stages of Australian involvement , i maybe wrong on that , sadly not much is discussed about the Korean war in Australia it was'nt a big deployment compared to other conflicts . I really enjoy your content keep up the good work ! R.

Regards kit there is a fairly linear progression, this kit is representative of later on when 1944 Pattern was standard, 1937 Pattern was no longer being used in theatre. Early on both Australian and British troops would use 1937 Pattern. The kit progression is something planned to be covered in upcoming videos, for British troops, Australian and possibly Canadian too, though I'm a bit lacking in appropriate kit for the latter. Glad you're enjoying the videos and I hope you like my upcoming stuff!

Any particular reason a slouch hat pins up on the left side? Seems it should pin up on the right so the brim is not in the way when aiming a weapon; or was that not a problem?
@RiflemanMoore4 жыл бұрын
It doesn't get in the way when aiming. It would get in the way when sloping arms if not fastened up on the left. That said in the field the brim was often worn down.
@mh53j4 жыл бұрын
@@RiflemanMoore thanks for explaining that. I have indeed seen many pictures with the brim down, especially in the Far East, but I imagine it was done in North Africa as well to protect one from the sun.

Great video Ian. Love 44 pattern but what was the advantage of a 3 part belt. Cheers
@MRDPG594 жыл бұрын
The back part of the belt was supposed to be removable so the set could be worn without it to ease pressure on jungle sores if needed :)

I have always seen Australian soldiers wear the 37 pattern or a mix of 37 pattern and U.S equipment .? As below a copy and paste from a site called diggerhistory.info/00-pages-top-level/master-index.htm The British Pattern 1944 Web Equipment was designed to replace the clumsy, noisy and heavy Pattern 1937 Equipment which was entirely unsuitable for jungle or tropical conditions. The Pattern 1944 was lighter (using mostly light alloy instead of brass fittings) and more comfortable, as well as being quicker drying and resistant to rotting. It was introduced too late to see general service in the Second World War, and was not manufactured or issued in Australia. Australian troops serving with British forces in Malaya during the 1950s were, however, issued with it. I may be wrong but I have only seen photos of the Australian troops with 37 pattern in the Korean conflict' (and US equipment) They also wore the standard WW2 Australian 'bush jacket' (Service dress) and also were issued with the British 'battle dress' of the period under the cold weather jacket ( U.S issue a lot of the time along with the pants to wear over the standard trousers ) i.pinimg.com/originals/23/95/f5/2395f598a6a7bf3e76a46e6d80611ba3.jpg
