Chorehorses in Carriers

[Ron Pier]

Neil, the general position for the chore horse ( infantry battalion) is the rear left corner. Studying factory drawings and photos, the chore horse is shown at either the inboard or outside corner. I can't imagine they would have drilled some mounting holes and bolted it in at this location, as it would have hampered access to the fuel tank filler cap. Plus it would negate the option for the crew to lift it out for use. I would assume it just sits loose or at the best a leather/ webbing strap could tie it to the ammo pouch strip, although I can't see any in the pictures.

Here's mine, not a very good picture though. Ron
