Other Official Documentation

Instructions Regarding Kit and Equipment for Officers (1942)

off kitThis interesting manual details the uniforms, equipment, and personal kit, including web equipment, required by officers in different areas and type of service. It is included here because it is one of the very few official documents we've found, other than the List of Changes and the FI's above, that mention Pattern 1940 Cavalry Web Equipment. In this instance, Appendix A lists "Web equipment, sets, Cavalry pattern 1940 (including haversack)", as being required for officers in the Horsed Cavalry "during the Present Emergency". From the Karkee Web Collection.
