Edward53 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 (edited) In about 1970 the British Ministry of Defence stopped including dates in the labels and markings of most military clothing and equipment, a cause of much confusion to collectors of postwar kit. It is nevertheless possible to date these items fairly closely from labels and markings, using the MoD contract number. All British military clothing and equipment procured through official channels was, and still is, marked with a contract number. These followed fairly consistent timelines, with different contract codes such as eg CT2, CT3 and CT4 seemingly using unique numbers from a shared sequence. The CT code in a contract denotes a Section within the Ministry of Defence Contracts Branch - see Post 7 at this link. Luckily some items, mainly NBC equipment, rucksacks, jerseys and a few odd exceptions, continued to be dated after 1970. Matching up these dates with contract numbers enables a date to be inferred for other, undated items with similar contract numbers. This is not an infallible guide, as contracts for different items may have run at different rates, but it is a fairly reliable one. To take an example: suppose we know that an item with, say, contract number CT2A/904 was made in October 1981, and we have an undated item with contract number CT4B/844. We would assume this item was made around the same time as the first one or slightly earlier. Even allowing for different contract running times, CT4B/844 is unlikely to be a lot later than October 1981. Since CT4B/844 is a contract for a windproof arctic smock, and since a smock with this contract number in the Imperial War Museum is known to have been worn in the Falklands campaign, we can more or less confirm this even though we have no other way to date that garment. Early contracts seem to have been allocated to different contract offices according to the type of item contracted for, though not consistently. A/78/CLO is presumably short for Clothing, but whilst some equipment is stamped A/78/G.S. (General Service?), sometimes CLO is also used on equipment, eg. A/78/CLO/47456/CB(CT)2B is a para bergan. The CT series, which follows A/78, uses CT2 for equipment and NBC kit, CT3 for headgear and CT4 for clothing. The SL series is however not ordered in this way, and contract codes remain mixed until the DC series, with DC2 appearing to represent clothing and other items made from cotton-type fabric, and DC1 used for almost everything else. Unfortunately, neither MoD contracts branch nor the Public Records Office have a record of the numbering system for older contracts, or if they do, they are unable to locate it. If enough dated items are arranged in sequence, it can be seen that contract codes changed every few years, with a degree of overlap. Approximately: A/78 - early-mid 1960s to 1979 CT2, CT3, CT4 - 1979 to 1985 SL31 - 1983 to 1990 SL32 - 1985 to 1994 SL33 - 1989 to 1995 SL34 - 1990 to 1994 ST1 - 1994 to 2003 CT34 - 1995 to 1997 CT1A - 1996 to 1997 CC2 - 1996 to 2007 OC2 - 2002 to 2003 CC - 2004 to 2007 DC1, DC2, ESL - 2003 to at least 2010 Some of these contract ranges are very tentative, especially OC and CC for each of which just two dated items were available. There is also the unclassifiable oddity SL3 which only occurs only once. Below is a list in date order of dated contract numbers collected from various sources, mostly ebay: A/78/CLO/15578/CT4A – No. 2 dress trousers, H Lotery, 1966 A/78/CLO/16276/CT5(a) – jacket overall, J Smith & Co, 1966 A/78/CLO/16810/CT5(a) – trousers overall, Ashton’s overalls (Marple) Ltd, 1966 A/78/CLO/17450/CT5a – combat smock, J Smith & Co, 1966 A/78/G.S./13101/G.S. 1a(1) – NBC trousers, Remploy, packed May 1967 (1966 date deleted) A/78/CLO/23153/CT5A – NBC gloves, DAC, 1968 A/78/G.S./20148/G.S. 1a(1) – NBC trousers, Remploy, packed Aug 1969 A/78/CLO/32935/DC67 (1) – NBC gloves, packed Nov 1971 A/78/CLO/33893/DC69 (1) – 68 pattern smock, CW Son Ltd, 1971 A/78/CLO/38647/DC69 (1) – 68 pattern trousers, CW Son Ltd, 1972 A/78/CLO/38799/DC67 – respirator case, BHE Ltd, 1972 A/78/CLO/41990/CB(CT)2A – NBC gloves, Dipco, Dec 1973 A/78/CLO/44665/CB(CT)2C – NBC gloves, SG Ltd, 1974 A/78/CLO/41465//M/CB(CT)1C – drawers cellular, Meridian Ltd, Feb 1975 [above is contract no on garment, batch label also gives “Order A/78/CLO/41851/1/M/CB(CT)1C”] A/78/CLO/46903/CB(CT)2C – NBC suit, XAT, 1975 A/78/CLO/47456/CB(CT)2B - rucksack, M.E.L, 1975 A/78/CLO/46905/CB(CT)2C – NBC smock, SPE, Jan 1976 A/78/CLO/50169/CB(CT) – NBC overboots, maker not stated, Jan 1977 A/78/CLO/50662/CB(CT)1C – jersey man's heavy, TWK, 1977 A/78/CLO/52159/CB(CT)2A – sleeping bag, CQC, 1977 A/78/CLO/55654/CB(CT)2B – casualty bag, Remploy, packed May 1978 A/78/CLO/57092/CB(CT)4A - jersey, heavy, Remploy, 1979 A/78/CLO/57761/CB(CT)2B – NBC smock, maker not shown, April 1979 A/78/CLO/57761/CB(CT)2B – NBC smock, maker not shown, April 1979 A/78/CLO/56726/CB(CT) 2B – NBC gloves, S.G.

fv1609 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 That's an interesting bit of research & untangling, thank you for sharing it. I suspect the A/78/CLO format may have been introduced after the Defence (Transfer of Functions) Act 1964 when "A" signified Army. I notice after that time publications that formerly used a WO Registry File number assumed an "A" prefix as well. Prior to this what was the typical contract prefix? I think "GS" is General Stores as I notice the Army Cataloguing Authority combined responsibilities for Clothing & General Stores at Didcot, so one can see the CLO/GS is closely related.

Edward53 Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 That makes sense to me, Clive. Re the pre-A/78 contract codes, it's hard to say what they were because I don't recall ever seeing contract numbers on earlier kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
43rdrecce Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 There was an earlier A/6/CLO/ sequence running which pre-dates the A/78/ series I've seen it on 50s dated clothing. I've not seen enough of it to draw any conclusions however. regards Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exwoofer Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 (edited) That's a cracking bit of research - very good effort. I had been working towards doing a similar thing but had only got to the planning stage. This makes sense now - I could not work out why some CT numbers were 80s kit and some 90's - It seemed as if they were randomly issued. With your list it seems they were sequential - albeit with letter code prefix changes. May I suggest that if anyone has any dated items to contribute (to the list) - they post them up here - especially if they contradict the main list (so we can be sure the method is robust). PS I am Rich A - lots of guys will know me (or put up with me )from various FB groups and I am a collector of 1980's Brit uniform & and equipment.

Edward53 Posted April 12, 2015 Author Share Posted April 12, 2015 (edited) Thanks Rich, and btw your remark about the CT numbers made me notice that I'd forgotten to include CT1A as 1996-97 in the summary above the list. It would be very welcome if anyone can add further numbers to the list. As a collector of Falklands kit, I'm particularly interested in the CT2/3/4 900s and 1000s. Normally you might expect clothing and particularly equipment to sit on the shelf for at least a few months before being issued, but in the rush to equip the Task Force stocks of new kit were raided, factories worked overtime and kit was delivered straight to units, so early 1982 production could be seen as valid Falklands militaria. The problem is pinning down the month as well as the year. It's slightly unfortunate that NBC clothing makes up so much of the dated kit, as some of those contracts seem to run for considerable periods, and NBC suits have both a fabric date and a packing date, begging the question which does the contract number apply to? I incline to the packing date, on the grounds that a quantity of fabric is unlikely to match exactly the number of suits in any contract, so that one fabric batch could be used in more than one contract, and one contract could use fabric from more than one batch. I've certainly seen the latter in contract SL34b/0074, which I believe to be the only contract placed for desert NBC suits in the first Gulf War (another area I collect to). I didn't include that contract in the list as I've covered Gulf War contracts at this link [ignore the other links in this post as they are automated ones and not mine, this is the only one you want!].

Edward53 Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 Hi Soulman and welcome to the forum! That number is in the list for NBC trousers, and the smock is presumably part of the same contract. However I didn't have Remploy down as the maker, so thanks for that.

11th Armoured Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Not dated, sadly, but it is 1960-pattern DPM, which I've been told was only made between 1970 and 1971, so fits in nicely with your list of contract numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edward53 Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share Posted October 13, 2015 Guys, I appreciate the additions but without a corresponding date they aren't really adding to our knowledge of the timeline! It's those rare items with both a date and a contract number that enable us to make a realistic guess at the dates of other contracts.

I've left out the "submitted / approved" one though as I'm not sure how that relates to any production date. Also, are you sure CT2A/2282 is 1989? There are no other CT2As near that date - could it be a misreading for 1983? I've left ?s where the maker name ought to be. Do you have the manufacturer's name for any of these contracts?
