So I must admit, I am still very confused, let me try to recap and see if I am understanding things better now. So the Hemdvest is the battledress jacket, like the ww2 british type. The Hemd is the shirt worn with the das under the hemdvest. The hemdvest and hemd were replaced by the linnen hemd lat...

The liner was also worn under the M64 parka right?

Ah ok, and the hemdvest was worn under the camo jacket or was it only worn by itself?

Smoke? Thanks for the photo by the way!

We've got it in '70 (2nd Commando Bataljon) ibut we never used it.
It makes a lot of noise with all that velcro.

What did you use then? The Overcoat or the battledress?

What year was the jacket liner introduced? Mine is from 1985. Also was there a liner for the trousers?


This is the so called linnen vest right?

Then there is also this jacket liner, is this what you are saying is the training combat clothing, the under layer?

It's all from the mod71 manual from 1978. So you are saying the hemdvest is the battledress and the hemd and das are what was worn under it right? But why no mention of the Battledress trousers then, or does the linnen broek refer to the battledress trousers? Or was the battledress trousers replaced...

I am having some trouble with translations. So let start with this: Hemd - Shirt Das - Tie Hemdvest - Shirt Vest Linnen broek - Linen Trousers Gevechtskledij 64 - Combat Clothing 64 Training Gevechtskledij - Training Combat Clothing So with the above list I believe I have the correct translations in...

Hello! Do you mind if I ask you a few questions from when you were in in 1983? Here or in a PM. As for that book, I have the full webbing already, but the list in the back is of interest. I have already translated it earlier on, but I don't know how accurate this list is. As someone who was there, i...

Hello all! So as said in my introduction post, I don't speak Dutch, so apologies for that. I am wanting to get all of the uniforms and gear a conscript in the ABL would have had in the early 80s, 1983 specifically. I am wanting to go for a soldier stationed in BSD as part of the 1BE Corps. So essent...

Hello all! I will start off by saying I do not speak Dutch or French so I must apologize for that. I am a military collector of the late Cold War era 1973-1991 and have been very interested in the ABL in the early 80s era. Sadly info has been very hard to gather, I figured this would be a good place...
