I normally will just wear battle dress. Sometimes webbing but usually it just gets in the way.

This picture is of me last year while on a film shoot. The webbing layout worked well for getting in and out but I did find the holster got in the way a few times.

You don't have to wear much when driving a Universal Carrier, the key to wearing BD is that it has to fit properly and there is a certain way that when worn correctly it looks right. His is a LAC image that shows a typical carrier crew in NW Europe and an image that shows the prescribed way in which to properly wear BD. Take note of how the BD is 'bloused'.

BD, Denims, KD,

What ever the troops wore, remember they were all soldiers before they were drivers.

I have seen numerous images of tank suits being worn (blagged no doubt)
