When we started Karkee Web, back in 2008, the first section posted was on the very first British infantry equipment pattern introduced in the 20th century, Bandolier Equipment, Pattern 1903. Since then, we've been slowly working our way forward in time. We've also addressed some specifically Empire Patterns such as Canadian Pattern 1913, Australian Leather infantry Equipment, and South African Web Equipment, Braithwaite. Canadian Web Equipment, Pattern 1951, falls into both of these categories, and what's more, we've received several requests for us to cover it. We don't yet have enough information to add a full section on Patt. '51, but we've made a start by adding a page to the Contributors' Collections section, showing some pieces of Patt. '51 from Jordan Simpson's Collection. We'd love to get more photos and information on this pattern. Ed Storey has started the ball rolling by providing photos of his '51 equipment, and if you can help, with photos or documentation, then please send your information to us at Pattern 1951.
Note: We're still looking for pictures of a Pattern 1944 AF coded Large size Belt. If you have one and you'd like to help, please send pictures of the item and its size, date, and AF code stamp to us at Belts.
Karkee Web is a collaborative effort that depends heavily on the comments and contributions of our readers. In the year that we have been up and running, we've grown far beyond what we had originally envisioned, thanks to input from collectors and scholars all over the world. We want and need your input. If you have information, photographs, or other data that you'd like to share, or if you have comments, questions or suggestions, please contact us at Webmaster.
