WW1 British BEF Lewis Pouches X 4 1918 Dated P08 Pattern Webbing

WW1 British BEF Lewis Pouches X 4 1918 Dated P08 Pattern Webbing. PLEASE NOTE THAT THOUGH THIS HAS BEEN REISSUED TO THE SOUTH AFRICAN MILITARY IN WW2 ALL THEY DID BESIDES MARK THEM AS SOUTH AFRICAN WITH THE U STAMP IS TO MOVE THE STRAP UP HIGHER ON THE POUCH AND SEW IT DOWN. THIS CAN EASILY BE FIXED BUT WE DO NOT DO THESE THINGS SO IT IS BEING SOLD AS IS Explore a unique piece of WW1 history with these British BEF Lewis Pouches, dated 1918 and designed in the P08 Pattern webbing. This set of four pouches comes with an interesting provenance, having been reissued to the South African military during World War II. The only modifications made were the addition of a “U” stamp marking them as South African property and an adjustment to the positioning of the strap, which was moved higher on the pouch and sewn down. These changes are easily reversible; however, we are offering them in their current condition to maintain authenticity. These pouches are a remarkable opportunity for collectors of military memorabilia, offering a glimpse into the adaptive reuse of equipment across multiple global conflicts. Don’t miss the chance to own a piece of history!
