Web Infantry Equipment, Pattern 1944

List of Changes and Other Official Documentation

The decision to introduce Pattern ’44 W.E. appears not to have been marked by an LoC. Similarly, no LoC covering its transfer from Section A6 to A1 has been found, yet this last allocated a complete new block of codes.  and there were precious few after that. For a Pattern that saw service into the 1990s, its Service life - documentation-wise - was rather uneventful. This makes it rather unique and the changes eventually made, in the 1960s, fall outside the period covered by LoCs.
