stinkypete618 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Ive purchased a tent for shows etc. Not sure of it origin, but it does have these markings in it tho. I have googled them all, but nothing jumps out about a tent. Can anyone shed any light on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 JA1551 Roof, outer is part of Tent, 160-lb, JA1549 It was introduced circa 1946 to replace: JA5685 Tent, C.S. Mk 5 JA5774 Tent, R.D. Large JA1839 Tent, R.D. Small See page 3 http://www.hmvf.co.uk/pdf/TENTS2.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinkypete618 Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 Excellent thank you! I looked through that tent post but was overwhelmed with the amount of tents!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Well it covered so many tents there wasn't enough room for detail of its component parts so it was easy to miss what it was from. That info came from a 1946 RAOS that replaced the other 3 types. I have a 1942 REA & no mention of the 160-lb tent at that stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degsy Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 You never cease to amaze me Clive with your ability to find the info from the mass of paperwork you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Thank you Derek, it's remembering the particular part of a particular document that takes the time. If you like the paraphernalia of Army administration, there are some interesting pages from those REA. I have put some extracts on here: http://www.karkeeweb.com/patterns/1903/1903_fitting_instructions.html#regs1942 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
