The various armies of the world have had to figure out the best way for their soldiers to carry their supplies and ammo into combat. One of the most effective ways was the use of lod bearing gear. The concept was to provide a set of suspenders where the utility belt could be connected. items can be attached to the belt and the suspenders. The weight is placed on the shoulders of the soldiers where it is easier to carry them.

The item featured here is a British load bearing gear. The design was rather complicated. It was not easy to put things or take them away.

The gear was made of khaki colored canvis. It consisted of a set of suspenders, two ammo pocuhes placed in the front, and a canteen placed in the side.

most of the components are broad arrow marked and dated.
