    Hi Dimas, if you ever have some spare time and could translate this, I would be very interested to read it

    I see the illustration shows the "Y Straps"; have you ever seen any originals of these? Some friends in England have made copies using Mosin Nagant rifle slings.

    Cheers, Ade.

    This pack, when issued new, contained three small supplementary pouches of various sizes that were carried inside. Are these covered in this field order manual?

    Hi Mike, nice to see you here, so welcome!

    If you have a look at the UK Red Army living history forum (which I also run ) a comrade there has kindly done a translation of this manual:

    redarmylivinghistory :: View topic - Red Army Personal Equipment Complexes...

    Cheers, Ade.

    Ade,

    Thanks for the welcome... Dimas had linked to me some time ago, but I just though "ah great, another forum to rob my time" Anyway, I'll check out the translation

    Mike
