The small packs worn on the chest hold the respirator (gas-mask) issued to all personnel as there was a real fear that the Germans both had, and would use, poison gases. Fortunately this never happened. The German equivalent is the metal, corrugated tubs often seen hanging off their Field Order. The men here are wearing field kilts in a plain, khaki cloth.
