52 pattern web

[Ed Storey]

This is a very famous Korean War image and I believe shows 2 PPCLI in theatre. Everyone is wearing 1937 Pattern Web Equipment, not 1951 Pattern which is green and not tan coloured web. As well, the 1951 Pattern Waistbelt has US style eyelet holes to attach the Canteen and messtin Carriers, the Waistbelts in this image do not have the eyelet holes and are 1937 Pattern. Lots of kit being carried including and Insulated Food Container.

i wish someone would write a definitive book on the 51 pat web, similar to the 37 pat web book you authored. that book cleared up a lot of issues for me when i was building a set of 37 web.

The is a similar book in the works that will cover the 1951 Pattern Web Set. I am glad the 1937 Pattern book was of use to you.

Sounds to me like you have a 1950s dated 1937 Pattern Waterbottle Carrier with the snaps on the top as opposed to the side, am I correct? What are the markings on your Carrier? Can you post an image?
