THE FOLLOWING COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED.
1. Canvas ammunition carriers soon wear out. These can easily be reinforced with leather by a saddler. A board placed underneath them with rope passed through the brass eyelets has been found very satisfactory.
2. Jolting of the pack causes the ammunition to slip back in the belt, leading to faults in feed. Boxes can be lined with tin from biscuit boxes. Ammunition has been carried in boxes that have been treated in this way for long periods without any movement of the ammunition.
