Utility pouches are meant to be slung one over the front, one over the back. The straps were rarely secured in action and sections frequently overloaded themselves with said pouches.
Bren teams would throw them on the floor then open fire... some were then grabbed when redeployed, others were left in situ.*

*In later engagements utility pouches were often found strewn about & duly scavenged.
Burial services for three unknown Commonwealth soldiers found on the Western Front have taken place at Peronne Communal Cemetery Extension in France and at Tyne Cot Cemetery in Belgium.

Wyjaśniam na spokojnie bzdury dotyczące tego wpisu. To jest moja opinia, która może się komuś nie podobać.
To jest rok 2015.
Nie chodzi o tort wołyński.
Widoczna jest „flaga rosji”, a nie Polski ani żadna flaga związana z Wołyniem.
Całość odnosi się do wyśmiewania rosyjskiej propagandy o rzekomym „ukrzyżowaniu dziecka w Donbasie” – tzw. „chłopczyk w majtkach”.
Ukraińcy, w tamtym czasie, o Wołyniu dowiadywali się z wypowiedzi ruskiego kolaboranta, autora Noworosji Olega Cariowa.
Nie potrafił odpowiedzieć, kiedy rozpoczęła się II wojna światowa. Powiedział legendarne "czto(co)", a potem, że w 1941 roku, po czym zaczął opowiadać o rzezi wołyńskiej...
He stood 2.01 metres tall. That is how they finally confirmed his identity. PFC Robert Cahow, 311th Infantry Regiment, 78th Infantry Division, was killed in the Hürtgen Forest on 13 December 1944, bringing in wounded men under fire. A mine killed him, and German fire kept his comrades from reaching the body.
Crocodiles don't die of 'old age' in the traditional sense. If protected from starvation, disease, & accidents, they can easily live for over a century.
Unlike most mammals, which stop growing after adulthood, crocodiles grow throughout their lives, as long as they have sufficient food & suitable habitat.
Crocodiles are cold-blooded. They rely on external heat to regulate body temperature; their metabolism is very slow, & they can survive for months without food.
This particular crocodile, Henry, was notorious as a man-eater in the Okavango River, having killed multiple people in the early 1900s.
A hunter named Sir Henry Neumann was sent to catch and kill this problem animal. Instead, he captured the crocodile alive & transferred it to a conservation centre, & so it was named Henry.
Henry has fathered >10,000 offspring and remains reproductively active at >125 years of age.
Every species, in its own way, is extraordinary.
No, in fact if you model the Russians own air alerts issued to civilians, this is approximately the trajectory taken by UA drones to hit St. Petersburg and/or Ust-Luga.
All hell has broken loose at Putin's Economic Forum after Steven Seagal has reportedly eaten several members of the Chinese delegation.

If you blink you miss some details in the Waterloo movie.
Wellington's headquarters also included liaison officers from across the coalition and the movie shows this.

Ultima Online once had an in-game king who was supposed to be unkillable.
He was played by the creator of the game.
During a public speech, someone threw a fire field spell at him.
The server had crashed earlier, and when he logged back in, his invincibility flag wasn’t on.
So the king just died in front of everyone.
The devs spawned demons in revenge.
The assassin escaped.
