Cdn 1951 Pattern Mess Tin Carrier Rectangular messtins of Second World War pattern were carried in a new pattern of carrier. As with the Canteen Carrier, tabs and buckles were fitted on the sides for attaching the ends of the Braces. A Knife, Fork and Spoon (KFS) Set was carried inside the messtins or stuffed between the messtins and the inside of the carrier. The KFS was normally wrapped in a ration or messtin bag or a rag to prevent rattling. The rear had a wire hook for attachment to the waistbelt.
