History

Description

Introduced with the Binocular case, as its sequential code reveals, this was little different to the Pockets of earlier Patterns, though its box-lid flap was closed by a turn button. It was intended for the Compass, magnetic, marching, Mark 1. Only a single “C” hook was fitted, together with a transverse webbing loop, on the upper rear face, for carriage on a yoke strap.
