British 5-pocket ammunition pouch - Carriers, cartridge, 75 rounds (2nd Issue), Right P1908. Labelled "3538 / 9/ 23 / 293 List of Changes L. of C. §15048, dated 22 November 1909, made a number of minor modifications to various items of W.E. Patt. '08. One of these was to replace the crimped brass tips on all straps and tabs with eyeletted ones. This was the only modification made to the Cartridge carriers by this L. of C. Entry. These Carriers, cartridge, 75 rounds incorporate this modification. The rear view of the same pair of Carriers. Note the diagonal strap, which was the key feature of Burrowes’ alleged design. The weight of the Pack, attached to this strap, is transferred as a downward force – but to the front of the Brace. As flat-loop belting had yet to be developed, the “C” clips of the Carrier could move. The weight of a fully loaded Carrier would cause it to sag, pulling the ends inwards. The two narrow straps ensured that the Carrier could not sag outwards.
