Your Bergan list is obviously from the decades AFTER "My" time -
You must have been issued with equipment to actually put into the Bergan
My last tour was with a Bergan holding a gallon of water - of the best
quality you could lay your hands on, of a good year and at a pleasant,
piquant temperature - radio - extra battery - belt of rounds - extra chukkhas
ration pack or bag ration if you could score one and a one meter square
hessian cloth for cammo and used as a sun filter......
On the belt I seem to recall four water bottles and four 'home made'
holsters for ammo slid into Bren magazines 'cos they held more....
surprise worthy oriental round counting gentlemen....
Weight is about right though - (picture coming if I ever soss 'how to' )
'Aye
