Hello
First of all hi from a new member....my dad made me one of these back when I first joined the Army (way back in 81 (yes, I know pull up a sandbag etc...!)). The smart advice then was to ditch the 58 pattern mug and use a metal US one as it meant you could do without mess tins and save weight etc. Was also big enough (just) to fry one egg or 2 slices of bacon grill... Unfortunately this antique (the lid not me) doesnt quite fit on the Crusader and I have avoided the BCB placcie thing so far for all the reasons stated on here. Currently I am using a small frying pan as the lid but its a bit on the big side still. I am working in Cambodia at the moment so will try to get one made up here, but if not would be delighted to get added onto the bottom of the list, £10 seems very reasonable for me if its still a goer...
