Things a soldier would carry other than firearms, ammo, or uniforms. Meaning equipment such as ammo pouches, bayonets, holsters, oil cans, cleaning equipment, etc.
Took this photo at the Royal Armouries, Leeds. The wire cutter is attached to the SMLE, a strand of wire is pushed into the vee and a round fired through it. Simple!
that is better than some of those other attachments they where using during the great one I remember a v shaped one that you pushed with to cut the wire.
