New book, 64 pages. After World War Two the rapid advance of communism and associated political instability threatened Great Britain's interests in the Far East. From 1948 until around 1967, troops were deployed throughout the Malaysian region. To equip the British soldier and Commonwealth troops for jungle warfare the 1944 pattern 'jungle' webbing, designed during WW2, was issues. In the 1960s, the new 1958 pattern equipment was issued to troops serving in Borneo, alongside the existing 1944 pattern set. This book, researched and written by a militaria collector, details the evolution of British post war jungle webbing equipment and examines the items used specifically during the Malayan Emergency and later, the Borneo Confrontation. Brought together into one reference book, the contects include: Components of post-war 1944 pattern webbing; 1944 pattern equipment modifications in the 1960s; 1944 pattern ancillary webbing items, bayonets and radio packs; Small arms used during the conflicts, and carriage of their ammunition; Special forces bespoke webbing; Typical customization of infantry belt kits; Items comprising the 1958 pattern webbing equipment set.
