12. If it is wished to carry the great coat with the ammunition but without the valise, it can now be put on. Two upper and two lower loops (both concealed) will be seen on the brace straps behind; the coat straps should be passed through these loops from below, upwards, and the coat secured; a twist of the coat strap should be made in the loops on the brace straps to prevent the coat slipping down. The coat is very steady in this way, and balances well when there are 20 or more rounds in the front pouch or pouches. (Fig III) The best size for the coat is about 8 inches high by 16 inches in width; but for small men the most convenient size for the coat will be 7 inches high by 16 inches in width.

13. The valise should be carefully packed according to one of the methods hereafter described. The towel should be rolled tightly and placed along the inside at the top of the kit, so as to form a ridge, except when the canteen is to be worn.

A.

The trousers should be folded so that part is placed flat against the back of the valise, and part rests on the bottom of the valise.
The boots should be so arranged as to have one sole to the bottom, the other to the top, upper to upper, heels outward, placed at the bottom of valise.
The shirt should be rolled so as to fit across the valise on top of the boots.
The holdall should be rolled and placed on the top of the shirt.
The socks should be pocketed and placed to the left of the holdall.
The brush and pocket ledger should be placed on the right of the holdall. The towel to be rolled as in par 13 if the canteen is not worn, or placed flat next the cape if the canteen is to be worn.
The cape should be neatly folded about 16 inches in width and placed over the towel about one half down the back of the valise, and the other under the flap, so as to be just visible at each side.

B.

The cape should be neatly folded lengthways, then doubled and placed, one half down the back of the valise, the other under the flap.
The trousers should be folded in three, inside out, stripe down the centre, then tightly rolled lengthways, and placed at the bottom the valise.
The socks should be placed one on each side of the ends of the trousers, so as to lie along the sides of the valise.
The boots should then be put in, soles downwards, heels outwards, uppers not turned back, the toe of one boot being in the hollow of the heel of the other.
A brush should be then placed between the sides of the valise and the uppers of a boot, the bristles being outwards.
The holdall, containing the usual articles, will be then placed on the top of the boots.
The shirt will be tightly rolled and placed on the top of the holdall. 20 rounds of ammunition may be placed in the pockets.
The towel to be placed flat, next the cape, or rolled as in par. 13 according to whether or not the canteen is worn.
Other articles may be placed in any vacant space. The valise should, when packed, have the sides and bottom well filled out with soft articles, so as to prevent its having a creased or drawn appearance when on the back. Four folds of the cape and the towel being next the back no disagreeable pressure is felt.
