WW2, British, 1943 Dated, Unused Chahil Cloth 1 Gallon Water Carrier. Sn - 22846:81 During the Second World War it soon became apparent that the standard British Army water bottle was not sufficient.

The water slowly evaporates through the fabric (approximately 15% water loss per day), keeping the remaining contents cool. The idea had been used for thousands of years by natives in the far east and the British soon produced canvas bags to take advantage of the principle and was used in the Far East area including Burma. This is an original British WW2, 1943 dated unused chagil linen water carrier as issued to British troops. The buff water carrier is stencilled on the side in black TO BE SOAKED IN WATER FOR 48 HOURS BEFORE USE F.E.F. 1943 (date) W Indian arrow 26. There are two khaki webbing hanging straps on the top of the carrier and a bottom khaki webbing loop. Whilst two straps and a loop at the base allow it to be attached to vehicles or carried in a variety of ways. There is a chord loop to secure the neck of the carrier from spillage. There is a photograph of Sepoy Hali Ram of the 19th Indian Division using a chagul for a drink during WW2. The chagul was an essential piece of equipment in jungle warfare.
