Bob Grundy Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 I believe it is for the daily event that those of us who are in good health carry out every day. Quote
Richard Farrant Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 I believe it is for the daily event that those of us who are in good health carry out every day. In other words Bob, you would not eat out of it! Clive probably has the stock number for it on one of his manuals on the subject ....... Quote
fv1609 Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Its tempting to think that. The most eligible would be Latrines, buckets, large VAOS Section J1/1012 A1878 or A8874 There is no illustration in my 1941 VAOS. But in the 1946 VAOS the part number is not identified although the bucket illustrated is narrower, there is a carrying handle loop at the top. But only one handle at the side, this is not for carrying but to aid with tipping or hurling out the contents more effectively. Sorry to disappoint the latrine avids but I suspect this more for coal & such like. Quote
Great War truck Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Chaps. I would add my pennysworth that it is a coal bucket too. If it was a "Sip pot" (which I think is the correct technical term), the galvanisation would have probably suffered from urea corrosion. Happy to be proved wrong. Tim Quote
fv1609 Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 This more what you were thinking of Bob & Richard. Latrines, buckets, large Quote

ruxy Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Milking container for the regimental camel. NB - the three point non-wobble.. Quote
Chris Suslowicz Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 An ash & clinker bucket? The handles are rigid and big enough to allow the use of gloves. Quote
