bLUE fOX said:I believe as originally stood up 1 Can Para was issued with high top american style jump boots. They also trained using a reserve chute while at Fort Benning and Camp Shilo. When they came to RAF Ringway for british conversion training, the reserve chute was done away with because the british jumped from a lower hight then the Americans, negating the functionality of a reserve chute.
Old Sweat said:Boots and gaiters were used by the Brit (and Canadian) airborne forces during the Second World War. I have some pictures of Canadian airborne gunners circa 1949 wearing ankle boots and puttees, but by 1950 our guys were wearing jump boots.
You may also have noted the absence of a reserve parachute in the kit.
