Installation notes
Clips attach to the grommets of the M1936 pistol belt (3 rows: top row for suspenders, middle for buckle, bottom for holsters and pouches). Shoulder straps are adjustable in length. The suspenders can also be used with the M1936 musette bag as a rucksack via the D-rings.

Historical context
The M1936 suspenders were introduced as part of the US Army M1936 webbing system. They were widely deployed during WWII, from the beaches of Normandy to the Pacific islands, and remained in service until the introduction of the M1956 system.
