Ah yes,boots and puttees!! Dennison smocks. Shouldn't a mobat be a wombat? And at 5.57 the most important bit of kit essential to any kind of co-ordinated military op. A reliable means of communication. In this exercise, the VHF A41 larkspur radio. A range of 0 some of the time. A couple of miles with a 10' antenna,intermittently. Energised by batteries which were as reliable as a British rail train of that time. Carry a Bergen full of them,just incase. Last but not least. "The L1A1 SLR". The best small arms weapons system of those 2 decades.60s,seventies (No sarcasm,fact).

No, that's definitely an L4 Mobat, not an L6 Wombat. It might have looked like an almighty embuggerance but it could splat any tank the bad guys had at the time. Also notice that the GPMG hadn't entered service yet. Also cringe at the bootys emplaning on helis while still wearing their berets!

@@danjones4432 the 7.62 round would cause a higher cavitation wound than a 5.56 round, it has more kinetic energy behind it, the 5.56 round causes injuries that are often of a higher survival rate hence more time dealing with injured comrades. The SLR was a fine piece of kit but a right pain in the ass in CQC or lugging it around and assault course.

@@jimjoelliejack a nato 5.56 round has been proven in belistics test to do more damage as it had a lowered velocity meaning on impact with target it tumbles and tears its way through causing more ripping and tearing damage as opposed to the 7.62 which like you said would cause a larger initial cavity but nothing else and like you said its more of a pain in the ass to lug around

Continued this through the Falklands, though not sure to what extent. 2 Scots Guards wore their berets during the night assault on Tumbledown as it was felt to be an easy recognition feature during the night fighting; anyone not in a beret was presumed to be Argentinian. Have also heard that Royal Marines wore their berets during the fighting on the Falklands, even though they were issued with various older steel helmets (Paras issued with new lightweight helmets); pictures during the fighting very rare since the actions took place at night. Only seen a few pictures of RMs in helmets, they were being worn by machine gun crews manning improvised positions on the ships. If they wore helmets on land, they took them off as soon as the engagements ended. Would genuinely like to know what the Marines actually did.

@@tonyjames5444 were you issued helmets in the Falklands and just not wear them or were they "politely" refused? Was it left to the individual Marine whether he wore one or not or did each unit/sub unit have it's own policy what to wear? Can't imagine many wanted to lug around a steel helmet with everything else that had to be carried.

@@mh53j Helmets were part of our general issue kit but they were the old style tin lids that had been around since the 60's, they weren't designed to fit well and subsequently wobbled on your head and were were bloody awful unlike the paras helmets which were far better designed, we didn't even wear them on the initial landings at San Carlos and we were advised to put them on during air raid warnings but never did, they weren't worn either during the main assaults around Stanley. I joined in 79 and right through the 80's we never wore them on exercise or in Northern Irealnd, it wasn't until a better design arrived in the early 90's it became the norm to wear them.

I served in the marines in the late 70s there was no H&S then, it was just normal to do things that way, to tell you the truth it was what drew young lads like me to join up and become a Commando it was hard but great to be able to do those things. I’m now 60 and it’s a shame to see jobs like that stifled by H&S, it’s a completely different world today, but accidents still do happen whilst training to be a part of the most elite infantry in the world.
