Pattern 1939 Leather Infantry Equipment
No instructional pamphlet was issued, perhaps because it was felt to replicate Patt. ’37 sufficiently for that Pattern’s instructions to suffice. An oblique reference, in a post-war book, to “…a picture of ‘Equipment Pattern 39’ hanging not un-observed on the wall of an office…” may indicate a full poster, on the lines of those produced by Mills, or it may be some lesser offering.
