Thanks to Mick for clarity regarding the sling on carbine

Hi Mate. Re your Q should the carbine have a strap on it...... No .....remember the carbine was carried in a bucket not slung over the shoulder like a rifle with mounted Inf. M

Phew !!

The added colour is great on these drab uniforms, it's looking good with the scarlet backing.
