Body Armour

We had something that I don’t know... In our particular battalion we had body armour for example, I’ve never seen it anywhere else. We had a plate ran across here, one across your stomach and one across your back. It was in a harness arrangement you put on underneath your uniform and I wouldn’t be caught anywhere without that. At the time that was, that was fantastic. It was light stainless steel covered with carky fabric and belted to fit you, and I’m sure it saved an awful lot of lives. As far as our other equipment, for the time it seemed to be adequate, yeah.
