  • Use of US Equipment pre Java-Surrender by KNIL ?

      Hello to all,

      is there any proof that KNIL or other semi-militair units in the NEI were
      being equipped with US Suspension-system like m1923 Cartridgebelt and m1936
      Suspender pre Java-Surrender ?
      According to the deliveries of the M1941 Johnson- and M1917 Enfield-Rifle
      1941, it must have been like that !
      I can hardly imagine KNIL whas using her own M95 pouch for the bullet .30-06.
      During the Reorganisation in Australia in 1942 KNIL did use US equipment,
      but before.......?
      For the Italian stuff they gathered, KNIL did made use of pouches for the
      Mänlicher-Carcano or 'own' makings (Artillerie-Inrichtingen), but for the
      deliveries from the USA ???
      Who can help me with this question ?
      Thanks in advance
