Re: Thrid Search of the holidays. On the encampment
That sites startingto look promising John.
If you weren't aware, the items that I recognise, (in the cleaned up photos) are or appear to be the following:
The buckles/clips are:
The end piece off a rifle/LMG sling,
a "C-clip" off the back of an ammo pouch/binocular pouch/pistol holster,
the square buckle is from either the side of a 37ptn haversack or the top buckle off an ammo pouch
Not sure what the rounded buckle is off. (I think it's from a respirator haversack, but not sure)
The big D loop is a kit bag lock. Its missing the end of the loop that would fit through a slot in the straight bar, a padlock would then be used to lock it together.
You also have what appear to be three buttons. I can't make out one of them, but the others appear to be a GS button and a dished metal one off a BD uniform.
Regards etc
