Who here can swim?
 

How much does wet webbing, boots and helmet weigh?

Also in the same series is this shot from another angle. Interestingly, the 2/7th Bn Carrier is of British make, while the 2/6th Bn Carrier is an Aust LP1. Neither appear to have unit or Div markings.

At a gathering this weekend we thought we'd add to this thread with a modern update. The number of people aboard my LP2 Carrier was 32, and there was room for more if we had more to join us. All in good fun. David...

Were there Oz cariers in Egypt in 1940???
