New Equipment for Infantry.

An Aldershot correspondent writes:
An important change is now being made
in the infantry's equipment. The old
outfit is being superseded by the new
'sweb equipment" which is sure to be
heartily welcomed by the men. A great
Improvement has been effected in the
distribution of weight. In marching or
der neither the bandolier nor the hayer-
sack strap is worn. so the chest is left
quite free and breathing is made easier.
When in fighting kit nothing that is not
essential to action will be carried, but
the bandolier will have to be added
