Provenance

Nothing too exciting here but we thought it better in the collection than getting chucked out. It's a waterproof container or rucksack liner and Mick Tighe thinks it dates back to his days as a Royal Marine Commando and was issued as part of hs jungle warfare kit in Malaya around 1969. Jungle warfare gear at the time was known as O.G or O.G's from the colour - Olive Green. This bag seems to be 'unused' and has some pretty neat tape sealing which was developed into an art form some years later by the Gore Tex industry.
