British WW2 Soldier's Personal Items 

Tbh they wouldn’t have had all their stuff spread out like this it would have been in certain spots mess Tins wash roll etc

Also he's not really a world war 2 British soldier, can't believe you picked up on the bloody soap tin but missed that...😂😂😂

@@jamo491 You mean he's only pretending ?

@@CGM_68 I have mysuspicions that he may not be a genuine time traveller, but I have been wrong before.

@@jamo491 right I do what these people do for a hobby. If you're going to do it you should want to be as accurate as possible, and unfortunate on the British side of things those soap tins are a common mistake. That I too was once guilty of. It's just some constructive feedback.

I used a similar set up late 70s early eighties in infantry,i do wonder at all the gear now the military carry.

@@simonrobson2293 British army?

@@eldelcable3879 sorry late reply yes British army

Yep, pattern 1937 minus the ammo pouches. (lichting 91-3 / Seedorf 41 herstel compagnie) :))

I think you may be correct (I have a Belgian one) but they are almost pristine good examples and it's hard to get British WW2 models that haven't had the blades ground down so they look more like toothpicks.

@@jelkel25 The Belgian knives are usually slightly smaller than the British equivalent and a good many of them have scales (grips) that are smaller than the handles. Their quality usually leaves a lot to be desired. You can still obtain brand new British Army Jack-knifes from several of the original manufacturers in Sheffield. They are of a better quality steel and have more modern 'plastic' scales. My only gripes with them is the cost, and the fact that the thumb slot for the main blade is on the opposite side to the original. Happy New Year and enjoy your reenactment activities. (plus the knives do not have the WO (War Office) markings and government crow foot arrow).

It's a northern English accent, our accents vary from Southern, Midlands and northern dialects. Then each individual town/city have their own accents. Hardly anyone speaks posh now, people think the British speak posh but they don't, it comes from a time when the BBC would not let regional accents on tv. The Welsh are easy to understand as they sing when they speak. Next time you listen to the Welsh, take notice. Hoped that helped Tyler. 🙌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

@Glenn Douglas it does. I still have to use subtitles for yalls shows, though. And your slang is beyond me.

Dude there gone we dont know were but they channel dead twitter to they disappeared

just search british ww2 newspaper print

Just rob your local library's stash of old papers.

@@lephantomchickn3676 Now you must be British 😂🤣 we love nicking things.

Not so. They had to keep their boots clean if possible otherwise they leaked and fell apart. It was the same when I was in in the 1980s. When out in the field we were ordered to keep our boots clean. If we didn't then we could be put on a charge.

@@Nooziterp1 yes but your talking peacetime . I also did 22yrs including the falklands and boot cleaning was the last thing on our minds

@@stephenhowes7542 You would absolutely carry boot cleaning stuff in northwest Europe '44, plenty of images of guys carrying them, although they carried them in the entrenching tool cover rather than the pack because they would rarely need them so that kept them a little out the way. Dubbin especially was important and had to be carried as it gas proofed the boots. They might not have used them that often but they definitely carried them.

actually Anglosaxon brothers

Sounds like Scouse for me lol

Yes.Chemical Pens were only starting to appear in ww2,so majority of soldiers still had to write with wooden graphite pencils or greasy and messy pens.

Sappers were issued this type of of knife, marlin spike was used for ropework. The navy had their own design of knife. It's much larger than the army type clasp knife

Removing boy scouts from horses hooves - Lol!

Sappers use the spike to make a hole in plastic explosive for the detonator.

They were the posh ones. LOL Woodbines lower Victory V Supposedly camel poo.

I WAS DEAFENED BY ARTILLERY FIRE TOO!
