God bless the staff officer who thought that one up. However, at least someone was thinking about getting shells from the closest delivery point up to the guns.

Great find Ed. Next question, Is it available? It would make a great addition to my 25pdr. Please PM me if you decide you do not want it.
Regards Rick.

Wouldn't want to be spotted by a sniper grunting one of those to the guns.

If a gun is within range of a sniper, everyone is already in serious trouble. There is a reason why the artillery is called the 7 mile snipers.
Personally, I think I would rather have had a wagon than that vest. When I used to have to drag batteries or heaters up to the gun line in the winter, I used to use on of the old 100 pound toboggans. It was perfect for that use.

Thought I would post up a related item. Picked up a couple of them the other year when they were being disposed of.
I think it is Korean war era up into Vietnam and into the 90's. But I stand to be better educated by those that know more. The markings on it "Bag Ammunition, M2A1 D34951"
