Cloth Bandolier 42 Cdo. Suez 1956

Ex 42 Commando

In addition to the amount of ammunition in our pouches, we were issued two thin, cloth bandoliers, each holding 50 rounds. All this ammunition had to be checked in clips of 5, to ensure that the rims of the cartridges were in the correct relationship to one another.
