"I guess it is a bit like entrenching tools. The 'book' descibes the item provided, yet photos of Kiwi infantry in Italy clearly show Bulldog brand GS shovels and picks carried instead." Rob

When we started the HLIofC group here in Cambridge (about a million years ago) we had an interesting problem - couldn't find enough entrenching tools.
We did have a few and at an early display for the Vets, we apologized for not having enough to go round.

The vets emphatically advised us that they chucked that usless tool, and prefferred to dig in with real tools.
