Details

The MkII 'Bandolier, cotton, 50 rounds' was introduced in List of Changes in January 1910. While the Mk.I and Mk.I* bandoleers were made of drill fabric with pockets divided by a single row of stitching, the Mk.II bandoleers, were of a khaki coloured denim fabric with five slightly smaller pockets divided by a double row of stitching.

Made in 1918 these Australian bandoleers, have been reused and remarked several times since.
