Utility strap
The pics will demonstrate the correct use of the utility strap.
Those straps were probably made for mortar crews so a crewman could sling 2 three round carriers over his shoulders and hand carry two more 3 round carriers for a total of 12 rounds delivered to the firing point. I only have 1 3" mortar carrier hence the tube on the right hand side
Any one have a better explanation?
The straps would work for the PIAT as well
