No wonder the Brits and Americans (and us) copied them, they were an excellent design.
But the flimsy (as explained at some length elsewhere on the MLU forum) was not the same as the two gallon POL can you'd find on a CMP.
yes I realise that the POL cans on CMP trucks was different to the flimsy. But still believe that the 'Jerry' can replaced the flimsy and it was then found to be a conveniance to do away with the POL can as well. After all 20L (4 gallons) got you further then 2 gallons didn't it? LOL
