Canadian Army Korean War 51 Pattern Web Set With Service Number

The Canadian Army Korean War 51 Pattern Web Set With Service Number is a complete webbing assembly used by Canadian Army personnel during the Korean War era. This example features the 1951 Pattern, which succeeded earlier British and Canadian web equipment designs. Constructed primarily from heavy-duty cotton webbing, the set includes key components such as the waist belt, shoulder braces, basic pouches, water bottle carrier, entrenching tool carrier, and small pack. Each piece is secured with brass or steel fittings designed for durability in field conditions. The included service number signifies prior issue to a specific soldier, adding to the item’s historical provenance. The 51 Pattern webbing reflects the practical, modular approach to personal equipment adopted by Commonwealth forces in the early 1950s. This web set provides insight into the standard kit issued to Canadian troops during the Korean conflict, reflecting both logistical considerations and period manufacturing techniques.
