British Web Equipment of the Two World Wars

 

The outbreak of World War I in 1914 found the British Army unready in many respects for a new age of warfare. However, the British led the world in the personal equipment worn by the infantryman thanks to an American officer named Anson Mills and the skills of the company created to produce his design—the 1908 equipment set made in woven cotton web.
