ammo pouches
To all who bought the pouches at Princess auto,your going to have to spend some more money to complete the set as they are the Bren utility pouches which there are front and back pouches with a yoke that connects the two together.The pouches are all rears and hold 3 mags in each pouch.The fronts have the waist strap sewn on the lower back side.The yokes are no problem as there are literally thousands of them in an old warehouse here in Winnipeg I can pickup for anyone who needs them if they are going to complete a set.Happy Hunting.

Princess Auto.........surplus military
I was born in Winnipeg.... and I saw Princess Auto start up with mostly military surplus tires, hydraulics, vehicle parts and fields full of unopened crates. I can remember when Panet road was the main road to Dugald road where my grandfather lived. I remember the new **Lagimodiere Blvd.** being built which now skirted the rear of Princess Auto. A railroad overpass would give you a vantage view of the yard. My dad would point out an old army truck and state that he was sure he had driven it during the war.
Yet today when I go to Winnipeg, Princess Auto is one of my main tourist attractions. The Winnipeg store is the hub of their operation and I have seen unique military items that do not make it out to the other stores.
