After World War Two the rapid advance of communism and associated political instability threatened Great Britain's interest in the Far East. From 1948 until around 1967, troops were deployed throughout the Malaysian region. To equip the British soldier and Commonwealth troops or jungle warfare the 1944 pattern 'jungle' webbing, designed during World War Two, was issued. In the 1960s, the new 1958 pattern equipment was issued to troops serving in Borneo, alongside the existing 1944 pattern set. Both patterns of equipment were unofficially customized and formally modified to meet the needs of individual jungle soldiers and the tough environment, to keep up with the rapid innovation of small-arms technology. This book details the evolution of British post-war jungle webbing equipment and examines the items used specifically during the Malayan Emergency and later, the Borneo Confrontation. Brought together into one reference book, the contents include: Components of post-war 1944 pattern webbing; 1944 pattern equipment modifications; 1944 pattern ancillary webbing items, bayonets and radio packs; Small arms used during the conflicts, and carriage of their ammunition; Special forces bespoke webbing; Typical customization of infantry belt kits; Items comprising the 1958 pattern webbing equipment set

Since the end of World War Two and the increasing threat of Nuclear, Biological and Chemical [NBC] warfare during the Cold War, equipment designers have focused on building NBC protection and decontamination into the British soldier's webbing equipment. The capabilities of 1958-pattern webbing were known to be very poor, yet it was not until the exposure of its shortcomings during the Falklands War of 1982 that a suitable nylon-based load-carrying equipment was developed.

The collecting of MKII helmets from the second world war has seen a considerable increase in interest among collectors recently. The enthusiast approaching this sector of militaria collecting for the first time has very few tools available that can at least point him in the right direction. So, taking stock of the knowledge I have acquired and with the help of various collector friends, I thought it might be useful to publish this guide on MKII helmets in the second world war and their use during the Italian Campaign. There is certainly a lot more to discover but this is a starting point. A tip, before making a purchase, always ask the opinion of other collectors because a trained eye can definitely help you in this jungle of post war use, fakes, tampering... and beautiful helmets that still know how to tell their story. A big thank you goes to Francesco Braneschi, it is also thanks to him that this "research" came about, to his passion and to our constant exchanges of opinion on this sector of the militaria. In an attempt to understand something more I cannot fail to thank Marco Visani, super adviser with his infinite bibles. A thankyou also to those who contributed with their time, photographs, information, and much more: Alessandro Zentile, Antonio Bonanno, Aaron Delaney, Brendon Ellis, Cristian Rubiola, David Yeomans, Dennis van Vugt, Fabio Ortolani, Francesco Saverio Giovagnoli, Giovanni Righini , Ivo Beute, Leonardo Biserni, Mark Kozowy, Massimo Costa, Paolo Zamma, Peter Young, Steven Britton and the Boys of the Combat Road association. Thank you. And finally, thank you to Fabio Roncella for his essay on the battle of Montegabbione, our roots are in history. Buona lettura! Daniele Piselli
