WW2 British Commando Firing Step and Toggle Rope

The WW2 British Commando Firing Step and Toggle Rope is a set of equipment used by British Commando units during the Second World War. The firing step is a portable wooden platform designed to provide soldiers with an elevated position for firing over obstacles such as trenches or walls. This allowed for improved visibility and firing angles in various combat environments. The toggle rope is a length of rope featuring a wooden toggle on one end and a loop on the other. Designed for versatility, toggle ropes were used for a range of purposes including constructing makeshift ladders, bridging gaps, hauling equipment, and securing gear. Members of the British Commandos frequently carried toggle ropes as part of their standard kit, utilizing them in amphibious assaults and other operations requiring rapid movement and adaptability. These items reflect the practical focus and improvisational needs of special forces during wartime operations.
