British tank stowage item identification
Does anyone know what this item is that is seen hanging off a good number of British tanks in North Africa and Sicily?
IWM E 18377.jpgIWM NA 4262.jpeg I’ve also seen it on some Crusaders, and it never seems to be rolled up more than in these two photos. I can’t work out what it is, or is for, let alone how it’s actually constructed. It seems to have two thin panels on one side and a larger, padded part on the side that’s always towards the tank?

Folding stretcher
Looks to me like a folding or ‘soft’ stretcher
I have seen one or two among AFV parts lots. Said to be for removing injured crew members Just my guess Cheers Phill

It looks like the canvas carrying case for the artillery plotting board with a couple extra large straps for securing it to the side of the hull.
