5th January 2004MH Ammo Packets - strung up?
By Jonathan Hicks
Does anyone know if the MH2 rifle ammo packets were really bound with string (as on display in the SWB Museum in Brecon) or whether it's a more modern addition as the glue holding the paper together has deteriorated? Sounds trivial I know, but dedicated readers will be somewhat familiar with the saga of my ammo box!
Happy New Year to you all.

Jonathon,

The bundles were secured with a twine like string. The bundle wrappers were not glued however.

Hope this helps

Adrian
