An abandoned FCM 36 of 2e Platoon, 2e Company, 7e BCC (combat tank battalion). The FCM 36 was a difficult tank to build and was quite costly to buy however, despite the rather ineffective main gun, the tank was effective in action, often inflicting reverses on the Germans in May and June 1940.

Trying to get hold of original French WW2 uniforms is proving surprisingly difficult. A recent trip to the history museum in Prague might explain why...

The cross straps go through the bottom of the two upper loops (or slots, if you will). The upper of the two is kept clear for the small pack hooks.
