You were issued a gas mask permanently? :O

Over here you got a basic issue. Items such as gas masks, entrenching tools, compasses, even (early on anyway) winter sleeping bags were issued on an as need, per exercise basis. It kept the crap you had to cart around to a minimum and the QM always had whatever was needed, in the quantity actually needed.

All we really kept, at least as far as field gear anyway, was uniforms, webbing, pack and about another 15-20kgs of gear.

Non-field gear issued consisted of little more than a few sets of "poly's" (polyester khaki uniforms for on base or parade ground). My Company was unique in the Army being also issued a kilt for ceremonial duties.

I've got a list of my issued items floating about somewhere. I'll post when I can find it.
