Designed in October 1914, the 3rd Pattern Carriers, Cartridge used an additional strap to close the bottom three pockets of the left cartridge carrier. This was the result of concerns about the amount of ammunition being lost by troops at the front by the pockets being accidentally opened when leaning against trench walls or while prone. The right carrier remained unchanged.

Designed to hold 75 rounds in five pockets the carriers cartridge were made in non-interchangeable left and right carriers. The pockets are arranged in two tiers on the carriers, each pocket having a separate cover and, except for the bottom three pockets on the left carrier, secured by a snap fastener. The bottom three pockets of the left carrier are closed with a strap that attaches to a press stud at the top of the cover of the pocket. Unfortunately, we have been unable to reproduce the original pockets exactly. Each pocket has been attached to the carrier seperately. The carriers are sold in sets of left and right carrier. They are not available separately.
