Chagul Water Carrier

£2.00

Chagul Water Carrier. Close woven fabric which swells up when soaked for 48hrs before using. The Chagul lets a small amount of water through the bag which evaporates, this keeps the contents slightly cooler than it would in a metal container. If hung on the outside of a vehicle the water is kept cooler. Used through out the wartime desert campaigns and also seen in images of the Burma campaign.

This one comes complete with and is modelled in a hanging position.

I have one also with a 1990's date.

You will be purchasing a scale model of a real item. The model may require removing of supports and some sanding and filling. We would recommend washing in some warm soapy water or Isopropyl Alcohol before painting to remove any remaining residues. Hanging Straps are indicative of how the packs were hung but the straps may not be suitable for your requirements and are fragile so would be best replaced with tape straps.

Not suitable for children under the age of 14
