Lee Enfield No4 Mk1 Sling Question

[Peter Laidler]

The webbing we used for Military Training days and range work using '37 pattern stuff was known as SKELETON ORDER and was the belt, L and R pouches, cross-straps, water bottle and bayonet frog. Generally speaking, the military training staff weren't concerned about the blanco and brass just so long as it was clean. So we had a gash set used for that and a shiny clean and polished set on top of our bedside lockers. As Armourers we also had a 'range box'. That was usually a Bren mag box with the partition plate pulled out and our tools and a few spare parts would fit into that. For '44 pattern it was pretty much the same but 2x water bottles. '58 stuff the same but with the really useful poncho and poncho roll attached too. Kidney pouches......, depending but not usually for range work. Gill can best comment on the Infantry set-up.....
