The Garand  cotton ammo bandolier's where initially designed to be thrown away after the ammunition had been loaded into the webbing pouches but they proved a very popular way of carrying extra ammunition by wearing them across the body.

The cotton bandolier is a lightweight 6 pocket bandolier with an attached shoulder strap.
