The design came into being because the 2-Gallon cans were used extensively as water condenser cans for the Vickers Medium Machine Guns and this facilitated a means of the fighting soldier to transport the needed can with water to the front while being hands free to still use his personal weapon if needed. Fairly rare and well documented in the books Saddle Up and Equipment of the WWII Tommy from the series by David Gordon "http://visualcollector.com/"
