Things a soldier would carry other than firearms, ammo, or uniforms. Meaning equipment such as ammo pouches, bayonets, holsters, oil cans, cleaning equipment, etc.

"...The last general issue was the 'Sword, bayonet' for the No1 rifle.
Now it was a sword and its purpose was as a bayonet all the later ones are 'bayonets, whatever'..."
But I believe the order is still "Fix Swords" and if the 'powers that be' still call therm swords*....

Well you could hardly ask a Guards Drill Instructor to order " PREEEEEZENT......wait for it......CRAP!"
I hated the bloody thing when I was issued with it and lost my L1A1. Didn't even SOUND like a serious weapon - IWL85. Rubbish for falling plate matches as well!!
Ah well, I could buy a FAL here but it would be Cat1. Dream on Andrews!!
